Produktbeschreibung

"Know thyself" was written on the wall of the temple of Apollo in ancient Greek Delphi. Twenty-four centuries later, we are still trying to do this, but with the help of the achievements of psychology, neuroscience, sociology and other sciences. Sometimes we are pushed to self-knowledge not by philosophical, but by quite everyday questions: how do we make decisions? Why do we suffer from procrastination and love horror films (after all, they are scary)? Why is it so difficult for us to get rid of bad habits and strengthen good ones? Is it true that time moves faster with age? And why, finally, do we lie so often over trifles? In her work, University of Melbourne scientist Jen Martin, armed with data from modern scientific research, provides answers to these and hundreds of other questions. Brilliantly illustrated by artist Holly Jolly, this light and witty book will help readers learn more about the world's most complex instrument, our brain, and better understand ourselves.
