Self Science

<p><em>Self Science</em> takes the study of the brain out of the laboratory and into the light. After years of seeing how evidence-based practices ignore the individual and fall into generalizations Dr. Mandy Wintink decided there had to be another way. Looking beyond her training in traditional neuroscience she embarked on a journey to better understand the way her own brain works and discovered a holistic understanding that put the individual back in focus. With this book she tells that story and empowers her readers to do the same.<em>Self Science</em> doesn’t just provide important facts about how the brain works; it invites readers to follow their own path to self-development self-discovery and self-awareness. A variety of reflections chapter assignments and experiments make <em>Self Science</em> not just an informative text and memoir but a journal and lab book that turns readers into neuroscientists. Tackling topics like stress reduction the power of optimism and the effect of practices like yoga and meditation Dr. Wintink makes the case that when we know ourselves we can change our lives in incredible ways.</p>
