Very helpful

The information in this book has really helped me. Don’t let the reviews about the narrator deter you from buying it. Putting it on a faster speed makes it just fine. The info is worth it.

Excellent, illuminating information

Excellent, illuminating information. Taught me a lot about the brain and human behavior in very simple, easy to understand narrative.

I think everyone who’s dealing with ADHD should read this

It really helps you understand what you are dealing with and how to help yourself to build a better life

Awesome information!

I really enjoyed the information! My key takeaway from the book, on my 1st listen, is: repetition of healthy and happier habits will help you create new neural pathways, aka synapses, in your brain for the survival of your genes and your life.

After reading the reviews, before I bought the book, I understood I might need to speed up the rate. My most comfortable listening speed was 1.20. Because the reader read so slow, I would feel sleepy while driving after long listening, so speeding up the reading rate really helped.

The book itself is worth listening to if you KNOW FOR SURE that you really want to read it. And I REALLY was curious about this book, and it's worth it!

fascinating

if your interested in how to calm you mind settle your brain ,this is a great read love it will have to listen to it many time to extract all the nuggets out.

Practical happiness modeling

This was a great book that not only explained the the functions of the individual chemicals, but ways to improve each. Too many books today give too much theory or detail. It’s refreshing to find a book that gives practical steps in a balanced approach!

Need in our world

Think book does not go deep but it explains the crucial parts of how our brains work and is something that has helped me understand why I do what I do.

Read reviews to understand format ;)

Excellent understanding of the brain chemicals that seek to keep us "safe" aka "happy". Note basic premise of human evolution, but not annoyingly so.
Listened through, and will now go back and review the periodic workbook "exercise" questions included... glad I have the physical copy for this, though could have written them down if I'd understood the format. Will be discussing with my bookgroup, and only wish I'd known about the 45 days recommended to accomplish new goals (with the new understanding as presented) so I could have completed one before our discussion - but again, my fault for not reading reviews ;)

Excellent info

unique perspective lay down in a way that was easy to retain. I would highly recommend it.

Great info.

The narrator is fine, too. I’m not sure what the expectations are but her delivery was well paced and matched the content well.
