In this eye-opening book, you'll discover twelve fundamental principles of neuroscience that explain the profound mismatch between your evolutionarily ancient brain and the complex demands of contemporary life. You'll learn: Why your brain prioritizes survival over happiness How prehistoric threat responses sabotage your relationships Why willpower inevitably fails—and what actually works How your brain's dopamine system drives behavior in unexpected ways The hidden ways your social programming affects decision-making Drawing from cutting-edge research and illustrated through compelling real-life stories, "It's Not You, It's Your Brain" offers both insights and practical "brain hacks" to work with your neural wiring instead of against it.
