Dean Burnett Libros

¿Por qué pierde discusiones con personas que saben mucho menos que usted? ¿Por qué recuerda a esa mujer pero no su nombre? ¿Por qué, tras una ruptura, se queda en el sofá, hecho un ovillo? La respuesta radica en las peculiaridades de nuestro cerebro. A pesar de ser considerado brillante y avanzado, el cerebro humano es desordenado y falible. Por ejemplo, su memoria es egoísta y las teorías de conspiración surgen de un cerebro sano. Sorprendentemente, el alcohol puede incluso mejorar nuestra memoria. En este libro, el neurocientífico Dean Burnett nos guía a través de los entresijos de nuestra materia gris y blanca, explorando las imperfecciones del cerebro humano y su impacto en nuestras acciones y experiencias. Con un estilo ameno y basado en estudios de expertos, esta obra es perfecta para quienes se han preguntado por qué su cerebro parece sabotear su vida y qué sucede en su interior. *Nota del editor: Se recomienda leer el libro antes de intentar aplicar esta teoría en la práctica.

The pursuit of happiness is one of the most common and enduring quests of human life. It’s what drives us to get a job, fall in love, watch stand-up comedy, go to therapy, have questionable obsessions, and come home at the end of the day. But where does happiness come from, and why do we need it so much? Is lasting, permanent happiness possible—or should it be? And what does any of this have to do with the brain? In this delightful sequel to Idiot Brain , neuroscientist Dean Burnett explores these questions. He combines the latest research and theories about how the brain works with interviews and contributions from relevant individuals, such as relationship experts, psychology professors, comedy writers, celebrities, millionaire gurus, and pretty much anyone else involved in bringing about happiness in others. Distinguished by Burnett’s signature wit and curiosity, Happy Brain elucidates our understanding of what happiness actually is, where it comes from, and what exactly is going on in our brains when we’re in a cheery state. Humorous and enlightening, Happy Brain explores a fascinating aspect of modern neuroscience and, in the process, reveals something about what it means to be human.

After losing his dad, a neuroscientist goes on a journey of discovery into where our emotions come from, what purpose they serve, and why they make us feel the way they do.

Why do you lose arguments with people who know MUCH LESS than you? Why can you recognise that woman, from that thing . . . but can't remember her name? And why, after your last break-up, did you find yourself in the foetal position on the sofa for days, moving only to wipe the snot and tears haphazardly from your face? Here's why: the idiot brain. For something supposedly so brilliant and evolutionarily advanced, the human brain is pretty messy, fallible and disorganised. For example, your memory is egotistical. No, really. Conspiracy theories and superstitions are the inevitable effects of a healthy brain. And alcohol can actually improve your memory.** In The Idiot Brain, neuroscientist Dean Burnett tours our mysterious and mischievous grey (and white) matter. Along the way he explains the human brain's imperfections in all their glory and how these influence everything we say, do and experience. Expertly researched and entertainingly written, this book is for anyone who has wondered why their brain appears to be sabotaging their life, and what on earth it is really up to. **Editor's note: please read the book before testing this conclusion.

One in four people experience a mental health problem each year, with depression and anxiety alone afflicting over 500 million people.Why are these conditions so widespread?

Neuroscientist Dean Burnett, author of the acclaimed The Idiot Brain, investigates the Science of Happiness. Or whether such a thing even exists.

"Do you want to be happy?If so - read on. This book has all the answers! Not really. Sorry. But it does have some very interesting questions, and at least the occasional answer. The enthusiasm for and expectation of happiness are so widespread today that fundamental questions about it are often overlooked. For starters, the most basic question of all: where does happiness come from? Is it your brain - a mere concoction of chemicals, or network of neurons? Is it in fact your gut? [Spoiler alert: yes. Sort of.] Or is it external? Is it love or sex or money or success? And what are these doing to our brains anyway? In The Happy Brain, Neuroscientist Dean Burnett delves into our most private selves to investigate what causes happiness, where it comes from, and why we are so desperate to hang onto it. The questions he raises are ones we so rarely ask today, but they address a major part of what it means to be a modern-day human." --Publisher description
