Unser Gehirn entwickelte sich im Laufe der Evolution und seine Überlebensstrategien sind eher dafür geeignet, im Wald Bären zu entkommen, als mit Herausforderungen unserer modernen Gesellschaft zurechtzukommen. Viele unserer Probleme – wie Ängste, Grübeln, Eifersucht, Selbstkritik und Pessimismus – gründen in der Tatsache, dass wir ein menschliches Gehirn haben. Die gute Nachricht ist, dass wir mit Hilfe moderner kognitiver Methoden diese natürlichen, aber hinderlichen Reaktionen unseres Gehirns regulieren und zu neuer Lebensfreude, harmonischen Beziehungen und innerem Frieden finden können. Mit Humor und einem tiefen Verständnis für unsere menschlichen Lebenslagen zeigt Shawn Smith in diesem Buch einen Weg, unser Gehirn auf unsere heutige Zeit abzustimmen und zu einem erfüllten Leben zu finden.
