The Significance Delusion explains why humans are so peculiarly
vulnerable to mental disorders and social problems, and how
understanding the backstory can help you learn the real value of
life Today we have everything that previous generations could ever
have dreamed of. So why is it that so many people continue to go
through life unhappy and unfulfilled, with millions more young
people now facing mental health issues? Does it have something to
do with the way our brains have developed? Could it be that humans
are just essentially delusional? Now a compelling and insightful
new book, The Significance Delusion, draws upon scientific
research, ideas, facts and real-life anecdotes to explore the human
obsession with meaning. It takes readers on a journey through time,
history and the mysterious labyrinth that is the brain, to explore
what it really takes for us (and our children) to thrive and
survive as individuals and as a society, and even learn the meaning
of life. The author, Gillian Bridge, is a psycholinguistic
consultant and expert in empowering people to get the most from
their brain, whatever the challenge. The common link in her
previous work as a teacher, a lecturer, an addiction therapist, an
executive coach and a resilience consultant has been the way brain
development and the use of language affect any individual's
behaviour and communication. By understanding brain function and
how it makes us behave the way we do, Gillian's work enables all
people, whether they clearly need help or not, to gain better
control of their lives. There are three interweaving strands
throughout The Significance Delusion: brain matters, child-rearing
matters and self-versus-community matters. By exploring these
matters in a challenging, quirky and often humorous way, the book
will not only help you answer some age-old questions about yourself
(Who am I? What am I? How am I?), but also understand how to better
promote the future mental and physical well-being of our children,
for the benefit of them individually and society as a whole. The
Significance Delusion provides practical behavioural strategies to
improve quality of life, making it a fascinating and invaluable
book for parents, teachers, people working in social care, policy
makers and anybody else who simply wants to understand themselves,
or their relationships better.
