Advance Praise for Hacking Evolution: Ditch Anxiety Get Happy… Forever

"HACKING EVOLUTION is a self-help book for people who hate self-help books. In it, Dr. Brad Kelln offers the equivalent of an operator's manual for the human body, the most complex 'machine' we know of, but written in a very plain and straightforward way, devoid of anything that might sound 'airy-fairy'. Not one to soften a punch, Dr. Kelln hits you right between the eyes with practical skills and science-backed information to help you manage your anxiety in ways that are easily understandable and offered with genuine care. Gritty, funny and very honest, HACKING EVOLUTION will help you to see that even your super-anxious brain is probably still a very normal one - one that you can learn to ignore more often to find greater calm and peace in your life."

- Dr. Ian Shulman, PhD, Clinic Director & Clinical Psychologist

Shift Cognitive Therapy & Assessment, Oakville, ON

"This book makes so much sense...a must read for anyone who has any level of anxiety and who wants to generally feel happier and more content."

- Shauna, 37, Mental Health Professional, Halifax, Nova Scotia

"I loved the suggestion of creating a badness scale. There were times over the past few days where using that technique really helped put things in perspective of not letting something trivial elevate me or affect my mood."

- Richard, 44, Mental Health Professional, Halifax, Nova Scotia

Description

Why aren't people happier?

What can we do about it?

Do you want to reduce negative feelings and feel better?

This book was written to help.

Fully revised, updated, and with new exercises.

This ground-breaking book explains why evolution wants you to be unhappy and what you can do about it. With over 20 years of experience, Dr. Brad Kelln, clinical psychologist, takes you on a fascinating journey into the evolution of your brain. In this humorous and personal exploration Dr. Kelln will explain how your brain is designed to make you look for problems and be anxious but he will also show you a path to fixing it. You will learn about finding those spaces between thoughts where you can exist without anxiety, anger, or concern - you will learn to find your own QUIET MIND.

The premise is so simple you'll wonder why people haven't talked about this before. Your brain evolved in much the same way as the thumbs on your hands. Throughout the early stages of humankind, the brain worked to help us survive. But our world has changed drastically in a very short period of time while our brains haven't. Find out what your brain was meant to do and why that is making you unhappy today.

This edition of the book also contains a new appendix with more exercises to help you reach your goals of reducing anxiety and finding your own Quiet Mind.

Autorenporträt

Dr. Brad Kelln is a clinical and forensic psychologist with over 20 years of experience. He has worked in hospitals and private practice for the entire length of his career. In addition to presenting at local, national, and international conferences, he has been qualified, numerous times, to be an expert witness in court proceedings. He also maintains a small, but busy, private practice and regularly consults to law enforcement.

Throughout his career, Dr. Kelln has struggled to understand the most difficult and concerning behaviors of others. Never satisfied with existing models of psychology and mental health, he has sought to expand the scope of mental health and make it more accessible and useful to everyone. Over and over his search for answers has led him back to human evolution as a key component of understanding people and ultimately helping people feel better. For years, an evolutionary model has provided him to tools needed to work with a forensic population. When Dr. Kelln turned that evolutionary lens on general mental health and the global epidemic of anxiety a light bulb went off!

Personal Statement from the Author

This is the most important thing I've written. I truly believe in every word and have lived this model of Quiet Mind for years. I think it is time to share this with the world. The ideas here represent a fundamentally new way of understanding our brains and why they work the way they do. More than that, this book helps get the conversation of change started. We don't have to be unhappy and anxious any more. Let's Change how we Think About Thinking.
