Books
The modern world throws a lot at us - relationships, careers, social media, the list goes on. It can often feel like too much for our brains to handle. In 'The Evolving Brain', evolutionary neuroscientist Dr. Paul Goldsmith reveals the reason why we feel this way: we're using an ancient tool to navigate the complexities of our modern lives. Our brains evolved to help us survive the environment of millions of years ago. Yet the world around us has dramatically changed, faster than our brains could ever hope to. Many of the issues we face in our daily lives stem from this mismatch. It's why so many of us struggle with loneliness; why we apply so much importance to our job title, or the size of our house; and why our brains crave the validation of social media likes.
