The Prehistoric Brain in the Modern World: How to Get Unstuck When Your Brain is Holding You Hostage (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781964251523)

While the world has changed dramatically over thousands of years, our brains have not kept up. Our inner caveperson-the part of our brain wired to survive predators and famine-can struggle to navigate a world of abundant food, endless information, and complex social lives.

This primitive brain sees rejection as a threat to survival, procrastination as a way to avoid risk, and perfectionism as a shield against failure. It reacts to stress as if every challenge is a threat, avoids discomfort, craves immediate gratification, and clings to familiar patterns because they feel safe.

No wonder we struggle with habits and behaviors that are holding us back!

Thankfully, neuroplasticity allows our brains to adapt, rewire, and form new pathways-meaning that the same brain that resists change is also capable of remarkable transformation.

Learn how to use the power of neuroplasticity to transform your habits, master your emotions, and unlock the path to your true self.

The more you understand how your brain works and why it sometimes works against you, the more power you have to make choices that align with the life you want.
