Most neuroscience research focuses on the average brain — ignoring the ways each of us are wired differently. This book flips that script and explores how your brain’s quirks shape how you see the world, make decisions, and relate to others.
Learn how your brain's unique structural differences, neurochemical balance, and lifetime experiences create your distinctive way of perceiving reality and navigating the world.
Every brain has unique structural differences that shape our worldview.
Brain lopsidedness affects whether we focus on details or context when problem-solving.
Our unique mix of neurotransmitters influences personality traits like introversion/extroversion.
Life experiences rewire our brains through "neurons that fire together, wire together."
Our past experiences create perceptual filters that affect how we see reality.
