But we're not powerless, we just need to rewire our brains so that the right thing is the easy thing. Do you feel lazy, slow, unmotivated, or apathetic? Understand your brain and you will solve all of your problems. Neuro Habits gets directly to the root of all behavior: the human brain. We will explore the quirks of the brain that create habits from both a psychological and neurological perspective, and what we can do about it. This book also presents an in-depth view of the concept of habits and exactly what motivates us to act. You will gain a scientifically-proven step by step guide on how to change your behavior in a sustainable way, and also make sure that you can put a halt to the destructive behaviors you've tried so hard to avoid. This is a guidebook, with actionable content almost every single page.
