Kidneys evolve. Lungs evolve. As do brains, and in ways relevant to
our pursuit of happiness and our vulnerabilities to mental illness.
In The Happiness Cure, psychiatrist Anders Hansen explains how our
brains have evolved more slowly in these realms than has our
lifestyle, and the malaise that this mismatch produces. This
wonderful book is steeped in insights, clear explanations and
empathy. Most of all, it imparts deep wisdom about how we should
live our lives.
*Robert Sapolsky, Professor in biology and neurology at Stanford
University, and New York Times bestselling author*
A fascinating exploration of the ways in which our ancient
neurologic wiring is mismatched for the modern ecosystem. By
understanding depression and anxiety through the lens of evolution,
we can make sense of the growing despair in the world today and do
something about it. This is a must read for anyone hoping to
understand the human brain.
*Dr. Anna Lembke, New York Times bestselling author of Dopamine
Nation*
A brilliantly researched book that will transform how you think
about happiness.
*Thomas Erikson, author of Surrounded by Idiots*
By describing our minds as the products of evolution, Hansen shows
invaluable new ways for understanding and living with our most
important mental ups and downs. "The Happiness Cure" uses direct
and accessible language to present the exciting promise of a
scientifically informed psychiatry.
