Learn the essentials about the three "happy" hormones - oxytocin, endorphin, and dopamine - and estrogen. Oxytocin is a powerful hormone. It isn’t called the “love drug” for nothing. Endorphin is more of a catch-all as it implies a pharmacological activity as opposed to a specific chemical formulation. Dopamine is a hormone that is also big on making you feel good. Estrogen is basically a girl form of testosterone. It’s responsible for the development and maintenance of her female parts.

Title 1 - Phobias - those irrational fears that so many possess, but why do we have them, and what makes them so intense? What about manic depression - what causes that disorder? Also, what about Tourette's Syndrome? What's going on in its corner of neurological disorders?

The Placebo Effect, everyone’s heard of it, most know at least a rudimentary definition of what it is. This guide will help refine and enhance your definition of it.

Parents, friends, teachers, relatives, and even work colleagues - from the people close to us to those we never even meet - other people are constantly shaping who we are. The mirror neuron is a part of the brain that has shaped each and every one of us throughout our lifetimes. It is the very essence of what makes us human, but most of us have never even heard of it. Mirror Thinking explores how the mirror neuron has defined us through the role models we observe and interact with.

Eric R. Kandel, the winner of the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, is one of the pioneers of modern brain science. His work continues to shape our understanding of how learning and memory work and to break down age-old barriers between the sciences and the arts. In his seminal new audiobook, The Disordered Mind, Kandel draws on a lifetime of pathbreaking research and the work of many other leading neuroscientists to take us on an unusual tour of the brain. He confronts one of the most difficult questions we face: How does our mind, our individual sense of self, emerge from the physical matter of the brain?

Have you ever wanted to be more confident or love your imperfections? Our self-esteem ends up determining who we are and how we approach life. Hence, you cannot turn a blind eye to your low self-esteem. The feelings you possess about yourself have the capability to not only affect you, but also others in the process. When your self-esteem and confidence levels are low, you will start losing trust in yourself and that can easily convert into feelings of frustration. Bit by bit, this pent-up frustration starts eating away at your happiness.

Everyone experiences fear, stress, or anxiety at some point in their lives, but that is not a bad thing. When harnessed, these forces can be our greatest source of strength.

Like many of us, journalist David K. Randall never gave sleep much thought. That is, until he began sleepwalking. One midnight crash into a hallway wall sent him on an investigation into the strange science of sleep. In Dreamland, Randall explores the research that is investigating those dark hours that make up nearly a third of our lives.

Our human brain is both unique and similar to that of other species. The only way we can trace its evolution is by comparing it to the brains of animals alive today. In this book, leading neuroscientist Rogier Mars offers an engaging account of the evolution of the brain by exploring the brains and cognitive capacities of animals from the humble sea squirt to the socially minded fox and the tiny shrew.

As we age, our memory naturally declines - but there are scientifically proven ways to enhance brain and memory function. This book, grounded in cutting-edge neuroscience, will help you get started. The Neuroscience of Memory offers a seven-step memory-improvement program based on the latest research. You'll find powerful tools to optimize your brain and memory function, increase neural connections, and stay mentally sharp both now and in the long run.

Our brains are more powerful than we ever realised. Too often, we assume that people's natures are fixed, immutable. For sufferers of depression, anxiety, ADHD, addiction, or the after-effects of stroke, this can be a difficult thought. For those with extreme conditions, such as locked-in syndrome or psychopathy, it can feel as if there is no hope at all. However, in Your Brain Knows More Than You Think, leading neurobiologist Niels Birbaumer turns these assumptions on their head.

What is dreaming, and what causes it? Why are dreams so strange, and why are they so hard to remember? Replacing dream mystique with modern dream science, J. Allan Hobson provides a new and increasingly complete picture of how dreaming is created by the brain. Focusing on dreaming to explain the mechanisms of sleep, this book explores how the new science of dreaming is affecting theories in psychoanalysis, and how it is helping our understanding of the causes of mental illness.
