I, Mammal: Why Your Brain Links Status and Happiness
Loretta Graziano Breuning, PhD is author of Meet Your Happy Chemicals and other books on the brain chemicals we've inherited from earlier mammals. She is founder of the Inner Mammal Institute, which helps people understand the moods and motivations caused by their mammalian brain structures. Dr. Breuning is Professor Emerita of Management at California State University-East Bay, and a docent at the Oakland Zoo, where she gives tours on mammalian social behavior. Why do the field notes of a primatologist sound like the lyrics of a country western song? Why does a biology textbook sound like a soap opera script? Dr. Breuning's books help you live with the brain built by natural selection. You can replace old habits with new ones when you know how your mammal brain works. Free resources for each book are available at InnerMammalInstitute.org. Prof. Breuning retired from 25 years of teaching to give the books in her head a chance to get out. Before teaching, she spent a year in Africa as a United Nations Volunteer, and has lectured worldwide on resisting corruption pressures. Her blog, Your Neurochemical Self, is hosted by Psychology Today. Ms. Breuning is a graduate of Cornell University and Tufts, and the mother of two tax-paying adults.--This text refers to an alternatePaperbackedition.
