THE INSTANT IRISH TIMES BESTSELLER

______

'Riveting and enlightening, this book should be handed out to all humans as mandatory reading.' - Stylist


'Fun, but still deeply, rigorously researched.' - Professor Neil Shyminsky

'Insightful and relatable psychoeducation that demystifies the brain . . . it's a resource I'll proudly keep on my shelf as a therapist.' - Joshua Fletcher, anxiety therapist

Your brain is the most remarkable thing in the known universe.

Only it doesn't always get it right.
