Things Change When You Think
The brain is the most powerful computer in existence. Nevertheless, it sometimes seems that we and our head are not playing on the same team: although we know better, we cannot get out of bed on Monday mornings. There are situations at work where we should react coolly, yet we become emotional. And in the evening in front of the TV, the bag of crisps tempts us – no matter how much we know about healthy nutrition. So how do we succeed in utilising the full potential of the brain? Dr Jens Foell takes us on a journey into the fascinating world of neurons, the hippocampus, and the amygdala. Using everyday exceptional situations, he describes how the brain works, what constitutes our personality, and how we can bring order to our thoughts.
