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.

¿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.
