The Calm Code is a revolutionary way to rewire your mind to be calm, happy, and balanced. It's a step-by-step method based on neuroplasticity. What the heck is that, you ask? "Neuro" means brain, and "plasticity" means easily shaped or molded. Your brain is reshaped with every thought, emotion, and action.

It’s become fashionable to argue that free will is a fiction: that we humans are in the thrall of animal urges and unconscious biases and only think that we are choosing freely. Kennon Sheldon argues that this perception is not only wrong but also dangerous. Drawing on decades of his own research, Sheldon shows us that embracing the ability to choose our path in life makes us happier, healthier, and more fulfilled. He also shows that this insight can help us choose better goals—ones that are concordant with our values and we’re more likely to actually see through.

What happens in our brains to make us feel fear, love, hate, anger, joy? Do we control our emotions, or do they control us? Do animals have emotions? How can traumatic experiences in early childhood influence adult behavior, even though we have no conscious memory of them? In The Emotional Brain, Joseph LeDoux investigates the origins of human emotions and explains that many exist as part of complex neural systems that evolved to enable us to survive.

The brain is the most complex and magnificent organ of the human body represented by a mesh of biology, genetics, and temperament. Composed of 100 billion neurons, each neuron connected to 10,000 other neurons. Our brains are filled with mystery and revelations, processing a constant stream of sensory data. Our brain controls awareness of the environment, including voluntary and involuntary movement. It looks forward to life with optimism and fervent aspirations. It can promote success or demise, depending on how and what it thinks.

Este es un libro con tres títulos, que son: Dopamina: ¿Cuál es la definición de dopamina? ¿Qué hace y de qué manera? Este tipo de preguntas han provocado debates en neurociencia durante mucho tiempo. Neurociencia: El estudio de la anatomía y el funcionamiento del sistema nervioso y el cerebro se conoce como neurociencia. Mejora de la memoria: La capacidad del cerebro para codificar, almacenar y recordar información se conoce como memoria. La experiencia sirve como hoja de ruta para acciones futuras.

La memoria incluye tanto hechos recordados conscientemente como detalles experimentados, así como conocimientos profundamente arraigados que surgen sin pensar o incluso darse cuenta. Desde los recuerdos vívidos de la memoria episódica hasta el conocimiento práctico de la memoria procedimental, cada tipo de memoria tiene un propósito específico. Sin embargo, existen similitudes en la forma en que funciona la memoria en general, y ciertas partes del cerebro, como el hipocampo, son cruciales para diferentes tipos de memoria.

Human behavior is lopsided. When cradling a newborn child, most of us cradle the infant to the left. When posing for a portrait, we tend to put our left cheek forward. When kissing a lover, we tend to tilt our head to the right. Why is our behavior so lopsided and what does this teach us about our brains? How have humans always used this information to make our images more attractive and impactful? Can knowing how left-brain right-brain differences shape our opinions, tendencies, and attitudes help us make better choices in art, architecture, advertising, or even athletics?

Before journalist Chelsea Conaboy gave birth, she anticipated the joy of holding her newborn, the endless dirty diapers, and the sleepless nights. What she didn’t expect was how different she would feel—a shift in self, as deep as it was disorienting. Something was changing: her brain. New parents undergo major brain changes, driven by hormones and the deluge of stimuli a baby provides. Conaboy delves into the neuroscience to reveal unexpected upsides, generations of scientific neglect, and a powerful new narrative of parenthood.
