Our brains do their best to help us out, but every so often they can be real assholes - having meltdowns, getting addicted to things, or shutting down completely at the worst possible moments.

Bridging cutting-edge neuroscience and ancient meditation tools, Fit Mind is a practical guide to unlocking mental fitness—our highest potential for well-being—in everyday life Our minds spend little time in the present. They often replay painful memories and chatter internally at up to 4,000 words per minute. They’re easily caught up in cycles of craving, self-criticism, and needless worry.

Neuroscience reveals that happiness is not just a fleeting emotion, but a measurable brain state grounded in the brain’s reward system and shaped by its social, cognitive, and aversive networks. Complementing these insights, psychology helps us understand which life goals are worth pursuing, which social connections most enrich our well-being, which self-help practices foster a positive mindset, and how to effectively manage the key obstacles to sustained happiness—stress, fear, and depression.

Many scientists and doctors believe that there is no such thing as the soul. That there is no part of us that persists beyond death. We are not spiritual in any respect. We are made up of cells and tissue, and completely controlled by a material organ in our heads: the brain. In this groundbreaking book, Dr. Michael Egnor makes the case—based on 40 years of practice and over 7,000 brain surgeries—that science has gotten it all wrong.

A resposta está na dopamina, substância química que atua no cérebro e nos impulsiona a querer sempre mais–seja no consumo, no lazer, no trabalho e até nos relacionamentos.
