An empowering journey through the mechanisms of the mind from one of the world’s leading mental health experts.

For those in pursuit of a better life, psychiatrist Marian Rojas Estapé presents the essential guide to neuroscience-driven mindfulness. Understanding your brain, managing your emotions, and being aware of your responses to stressors can give you greater self-control. Rather than a gimmicky guidebook, this is a thorough look at how our brains react to stress, threats, hyperstimulation, and the vices of our digital age. With proven techniques backed by  solid, up-to-date psychiatric research, Estapé teaches us how to make the best of our lives.

Combining science, psychology, and philosophy, Estapé delivers practical advice about how we can cultivate a happy existence. This includes understanding the parts of the brain, setting healthy goals and objectives, strengthening willpower, cultivating emotional intelligence, developing assertiveness, avoiding excessive self-criticism and self-demand, and mastering the proven art of optimism.

* This audiobook includes a downloadable PDF of diagrams and the bibliography from the book.

      With her youthful voice and earnest optimism, narrator Marisol Ramirez helps this mental health guide become a transformative journey toward healing and wisdom about living. The writing, by a Spanish psychiatrist, combines the author's wide-ranging clinical experience with a keen perspective on the challenges of contemporary living. From trauma and abuse to daily stresses we all face, Estape's case studies and descriptions of how emotional and behavioral symptoms relate to brain functioning are illuminating and empowering. Helped immensely by Ramirez's lithe vocal personality, this is a guide that will speak to listeners in a way that sounds practical and inviting. Especially powerful are the sections in which the author moves beyond dysfunction to show how we can alter limits we place on ourselves. T.W.
