"Whether you think you can, or you think you can't - you're right Henry Ford" This is a well-researched work simplifies multiple sources of research, into clearly defined easy ro digest chapters. These are clearly mapped to explain the different factors impacting the individual's need for happiness. Any book that delves so deeply into the neuroscience and evolution could easily end up as dry as a textbook but @andershansen avoided this but providing smaller chunks of information in simple terms that are written with the common reader in mind. This books explores anxiety and why this is a sign of your brain functioning as it should and the importance of exercise and hope in preventing depression and overall is a fascinating look at the complexities of the human brain and our space in the evolution cycle. Definitely pick this up to gain insight into what makes you, you - it truly will change the way that you look at mental health. Thank you to Penguin Books South Africa for affording me the opportunity to read this.
