Loretta is the author of Habits of a Happy Brain: Retrain Your Brain to Boost Your Serotonin, Dopamine, Oxytocin and Endorphin Levels. She's Founder of the Inner Mammal Institute and Professor Emerita of Management at California State University, East Bay. Dr. Breuning's many books, videos and podcasts explain the brain chemistry we've inherited from earlier mammals. She shows that our "happy chemicals" are not designed to be on all the time. They evolved to do specific jobs, so we always have to do more to get more. Dr. Breuning's work explains the natural way to enhance our power over these chemicals. Her nine books have been translated into sixteen languages. Before teaching, Loretta worked for the United Nations in Africa. Today, she gives zoo tours on animals behavior, after serving as a Docent at the Oakland Zoo. She is a graduate of Cornell University and Tufts. The Inner Mammal Institute offers videos, podcasts, books, blogs, multimedia, a training program, and a free five-day happy-chemical jumpstart. Details are available at InnerMammalInstitute.org.
Książka bardzo naukowo podchodzi do procesów które dzieją się w naszym mózgu. Przez 75 % książki dowiadujemy się o tym jak nasz mózg funkcjonuje. Nie uważam ten etap za jakiś wielce fascynujący. Jednakże ostanie 25% książki jest całkiem sensowne. No i wiadomo jest połączone w jakimś małym stopniu z tym co było w trakcie opisywania funkcjonowania mózgu. Osobiście, cieszę się że przeczytałem tą książkę, bo po prostu bardziej utrwalała moją obecną wiedzę. Jednakże nie polecam czytanie tej książki jako pierwszej w tematyce nawyków i dobrego nastroju.
ENG: The book takes a very scientific approach to the processes that happen in our brain. For 75% of the book we learn about how our brain functions. I do not find this stage very fascinating. However, the last 25% of the book is quite sensible. And of course it is connected to some small extent with what was described in the course of describing the functioning of the brain. Personally, I am glad that I read this book, because it simply reinforced my current knowledge. However, I do not recommend reading this book as the first one on the subject of habits and good mood.
