No-Brainer - coming 10 October 2018
I am continuing my adventures into the human brain in No-Brainer, a new 12-part Audible Original audiobook - brand new content for you, not found anywhere else. Making this series made me the happiest woman alive - but my take on happiness might be different from others'.
Each chapter digs deep into a different aspect of the way our brains work through a mix of interviews and discussions with experts from neurologists to Buddhist monks. Exploring stress, addiction, the teenage brain, pain, death and compassion amongst other things, I leave no stone unturned in No-Brainer.
Highlights include my visit to a monkey breeding colony where Dr. Mar Sanchez is making headway on the nature vs nurture debate by analysing the behaviours of baby monkeys; a discussion with Helen S. Mayberg, the first surgeon to use deep brain stimulation on depressed patients; and an fMRI brain scan where they subject me to increasing amounts of pain to try and better understand how our bodies process chronic pain.
I promise to immerse you among the scientists and leading thinkers at the front of mental health and brain research - and you also get a bunch of real life stories from me. You’ll learn a lot about your brain, and hear a ton of advice on how to use it better.
