Rainy Brain, Sunny Brain - The New Science of Optimism and Pessimism

Informationen zum Autor Elaine Fox Klappentext Looks at why some of us are optimists and some pessimists, and what we can do about it. Breakthroughs in neuroscience shows that our brains are more malleable than we ever imagined, and that cognitive behaviourial therapy can alter our brains' circuitry. Lifelong pessimists can train themselves to think positively, and pleasure-seekers can take control of their lives. Zusammenfassung In Rainy Brain, Sunny Brain, Fox describes a range of techniques—from traditional cognitive behavioural therapy to innovative cognitive bias retraining exercises—that can actually alter our brains’ circuitry, strengthening specific thought processes by exercising the neural systems that control them.
