Our brains are doing our best to help us out, but they can be real assholes sometimes. Sometimes it seems like your own brain is out to get you--melting down in the middle of the grocery store, picking fights with your date, getting you addicted to something, or shutting down completely at the worst possible moments. That's where this book comes in. With humor, patience, and lots of swearing, Dr. Faith shows you the science behind what's going on and talks you through the process of retraining your brain to respond appropriately to the non-emergencies of everyday life.
