Product description from producer
Are our abilities inherent in birth or can we continue to learn effectively in adulthood? Are we able to get rid of the roles imposed by the family and society and overcome the traumas of a difficult childhood? Is it possible to overcome bad habits? All of these are variations of one of the most important questions each of us asks, "Can I change?" The answer to it determines what kind of life we will live.
Scientific journalist Nastya Travkina answers these questions with the help of neurobiology. Talking about her difficulties: learning failure and the paralyzing fear of being stupid, confronting stereotypes about women, experiencing poverty and fighting addiction, she explains how experience affects our brains and how brain characteristics determine our future experiences.
The book helps to understand which factors that affect the brain can be controlled and which cannot, and offers methods to manage the former and deal with the consequences of the latter.
