Description
Have you ever wondered why your brain self-sabotages? Or why your actions seem self-defeating or destructive? This book explores how our brains have evolved to favour survival over mental well-being - creating 'controlled explosions' - and provides practical ways to understand, acknowledge and diffuse them.
