A Life's Work: Learning to Overrule My Mindless Brain is the journey of Shep McKenney's lifelong effort to figure out why it was so hard to find happiness and the surprising result when he finally did.
It tells how, having exhausted the traditional paths of philosophy, psychology, religion and external material success, Shep began to pay attention to the ongoing drama in his inner life. When he did that, he realized that most of his thoughts, and much of his external behavior, were not what he wanted. That, in turn, drove Shep to learn about the origin and nature of his brain, leading him to conclude that his brain, for all its indispensability, is a mindless computer that doesn't care about him except at the most physical, existential level. Having recognized his brain for what it is, Shep describes a practice he has developed to manage the thing, which has led him to become happier than he's ever been.
A Life's Work is filled with thought-provoking stories, each revealing a valuable lesson in which you, too, can learn to overrule your mindless brain and find happiness.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Shep McKenney has spent his life seeking what we all seek - happiness. In A Life's Work he candidly shares his experiences of 'having it all' in his professional and personal life yet feeling profoundly unfulfilled. Having all he knew to want, what was missing This intimate memoir examines that question and its surprising answer.By exploring the traditional paths of religion, philosophy, and science through the lens of his life experiences he came to understand that the underlying barrier to our contentment is the disconnect between what our brains were designed to cope with in the primitive world and what we want in the modern world. With thought provoking stories and intensely personal vignettes, he reveals lessons and practices we can all use to keep our brains from sabotaging our happiness. Codice articolo 9798985770490
