Publisher's Synopsis
The brain is a fascinating organ, capable of incredible feats and a myriad of complex tasks, but it is not designed for happiness. Evolution cares very little that we are happy, as long as it manages to keep us alive. Fortunately for us, one of the main characteristics of the human brain is its plasticity. Today we have the necessary knowledge to adapt the wonderful brain structures, the result of millions of years of biological evolution, to a new reality, and use neurological mechanisms to build our own version of happiness. Mikel Alonso López, an expert in neuroscience applied to behavior and emotions, proposes reorganizing the basic programming of the brain by working on habits, beliefs and self-knowledge from the most current neuroscience. The optimistic brain is the guide that anyone who wants to transform stress, pessimism and routine into adventure, self-esteem and pure excitement before the possibilities of life needs.
