- Genre: Psychology, Self-help
- Tone/Atmosphere: Approaches difficult mental health topics in an understandable, direct, and scientifically substantiated manner.
Our brain does its best to help us, but sometimes it can be quite a hassle.
At times it seems to turn against us – when we have a panic attack in the supermarket, or when we suddenly argue with our partner over the slightest thing, when we become addicted to something, or when we break down at the most inappropriate moment. You've told it thousands of times that it's not helping the situation. But the brain keeps doing its own thing.
With humor, patience, and a fair amount of cursing, Dr. Harper reveals what happens inside our heads and explains how we can retrain our brains to face the challenges of everyday life in a more appropriate way.
If you're trying to manage an old trauma or simply want to learn how to respond calmly and sensibly to situations you encounter daily, this book will help you piece together the puzzle and regain control of your mind and your life.

"OUR BRAIN DOES ITS BEST TO HELP US, BUT SOMETIMES IT'S A BIG NUISANCE.
At times, it seems to turn against us – when we have a panic attack in the supermarket, or get upset over the slightest thing with our partner, when we get addicted to something or collapse at the most inappropriate moment.
You've told it thousands of times that this doesn't make things easier. But the brain continues its own way."
