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. Weaving together inspiring stories, in-depth research in neuroscience, psychology, and spirituality, practical insight, and actionable strategies, Fearvana teaches the science of how to transform all your seemingly negative emotions into health, wealth, and happiness.

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?

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.

Understanding how our brains and bodies actually work is a powerful tool in mitigating the anxiety generated by unpleasant physical and emotional symptoms that we all may experience from time to time. Here, Robert Scaer unravels the complexities of the brain-body connection, equipping all those who are in distress with a plausible explanation for how they feel.

Improve your critical and rational thinking skills by understanding the science of your brain. Being irrational and making snap judgments is natural. But you can mitigate both if you know what cognitive patterns to look for. Start thinking effectively from the stem (pun intended). Learn through neuroscience how critical analysis and thinking are impacted by diverse cognitive processes.

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.

His notebooks, hundreds of years after his death, influenced modern flight, optometry, and photography. How could you follow in his footsteps?
