Loretta Graziano Breuning explore le fonctionnement de notre cerveau de mammifère intérieur, dans le but d'aider les individus à exploiter pleinement son potentiel. Ses expériences en tant que professeure et mère l'ont amenée à remettre en question l'hypothèse selon laquelle le bonheur est notre état naturel, révélant plutôt que le malheur est un mécanisme de survie et que le bonheur est une compétence acquise. Grâce à ses recherches et à son rôle de guide dans un zoo, elle explore les parallèles fascinants entre le comportement social des animaux et l'expérience humaine, prônant une compréhension plus nuancée du cerveau au-delà des perspectives basées sur la maladie. Elle permet aux lecteurs de découvrir leur propre contrôle sur leur système d'exploitation de mammifère.

Here is the story of how I came to question my political correctness, and how I learned to feel good and be good without it. You can too!
