The inner workings of the human brain may be a great mystery, but
the mind's true purpose has been verified time and time again: your
brain is secretly conspiring against you to make you crazy. How
else can we account for the needless fears, dramas, tizzies, and
rages that affect us on a minute-by-minute basis? The User's Guide
to the Human Mind attempts to explain the seemingly inexplicable
operations of the human mind, a "don't get eaten machine" better
suited to helping mankind escape bears in the forest than helping
us cope with the trials and travails of modern life. Written by
therapist and blogger Shawn Smith, this lighthearted yet useful
guide offers solutions for overcoming the most common unpleasant
emotional responses, such as worry, anxiety, pessimism, jealousy,
and self-criticism. Readers learn to use cognitive strategies to
override unhelpful yet natural emotional responses and create
better interpersonal relationships, greater confidence, and peace
of mind. The book's goal-setting, prioritizing, and goal-tracking
guidance helps readers notice their progress as they gradually prod
their brains toward a twenty-first-century-compatible way of
processing and dealing with emotions.
