I’ve felt it too—the hollow ache after hours of mindless swiping, the guilt of wasted time, the fog where focus used to be. This book isn’t just a guide; it’s my personal rebellion against the digital trap, a lifeline I forged to reclaim my mind and joy. It’s real, raw, and ready for you.

Teachers are brain changers. Unfortunately, in traditional public, public-charter, private, parochial, and home schools across the country, most teachers lack an understanding of how the brain receives, filters, consolidates, and applies learning for both the short and long term. Neuroteach was therefore written to help solve the problem teachers and school leaders have in knowing how to bring the growing body of educational neuroscience research into the design of their schools, classrooms, and work with each individual student.

You've tried productivity hacks, dopamine detoxes, and self-control, but they all miss the real issue. The more you fight distraction, the more exhausted and overwhelmed you feel. Traditional advice is built for a different brain. Most digital detox methods focus on restriction when the real key is restoring your brain's natural ability to feel joy without quitting technology or forcing extreme lifestyle changes. Using cutting-edge neuroplasticity techniques, this guide rewires your dopamine system so you naturally shift from mindless distraction to deep engagement, without upending your life.

5-Uhr-Club, Intervall-Fasten, HIT-Training, Eisbaden, Online-Dating, Meditation, Repeat? Scheiß auf Selbstoptimierung, gib mir Neurowissenschaften! Heute gilt es offenbar, sich jede wache Sekunde selbst zu optimieren und das Maximum aus Körper und Geist herauszuholen. Doch wer kann schon mit diesen unrealistischen Ansprüchen mithalten? Für die meisten Menschen hält ein solches Leben vor allem eines bereit: Erschöpfung. Die Neurowissenschaftlerin Rachel Barr stellt den Status quo infrage.

The average person touches their phone over 2,600 times a day and doesn’t remember doing most of it. What are you really reaching for? Comfort? Escape? A way to avoid silence? Perhaps you’ve set the limits. Deleted the apps. Even tried giving your phone a break. But each time life slows down, your hand moves on its own. The constant checking, the foggy thinking, the hours lost in a blur, it’s not just a habit. It’s a loop. And trying harder isn’t helping. That’s because most advice teaches you to resist the urge. This program does something different: it removes it entirely.

What happens when we accept that everything we feel and think stems not from an immaterial spirit but from electrical and chemical activity in our brains? In this thought-provoking narrative - drawn from professional expertise as well as personal life experiences - trailblazing neurophilosopher Patricia S. Churchland grounds the philosophy of mind in the essential ingredients of biology. She reflects with humor on how she came to harmonize science and philosophy, the mind and the brain, abstract ideals and daily life.

A compassionate, eye-opening guide to using our ancient brains to live happier, healthier modern lives. ----- 'A fascinating exploration of how our ancient brains are mismatched for our modern ecosystem, and what we can do about it.' ANNA LEMBKE, MD, AUTHOR OF DOPAMINE NATION 'Shines a light on...

We are living in a world in which cows send texts to farmers when they're in heat, where the most valuable real estate in New York City houses computers, not people, and some of humanity's greatest works are created by crowds, not individuals. We are in the midst of a networking revolution - set to transform the way we access the world's information and the way we connect with one another. Studying biological systems is perhaps the best way to understand such networks, and nature has a lesson for us if we care to listen: Bigger is rarely better in the long run.

Meet Chick and Brain and their friend Spot. Chick likes to follow the rules, Brain might not be as smart as he looks, and Spot just wants to eat lunch.
