Microcosm Publishing is currently running a Kickstarter Project to get the book Unfuck Your Brain: Using Science to Get Over Anxiety, Depression, Anger, Freak-outs, and Triggers by Dr. Faith G. Harper printed. Check it out at www.kickstarter.com.
Our brains do their best to help us out, but every so often they can be real assholes—having meltdowns, getting addicted to things, or shutting down completely at the worst possible moments.
That’s where this life-changing book comes in. With humor, patience, science, and lots of good-ole swearing, Dr. Faith explains what’s going on in your skull, and talks you through the process of retraining your brain to respond appropriately to the non-emergencies of everyday life, and to deal effectively with old, or newly acquired, traumas (particularly post-traumatic stress disorder).
Praise for “Unfuck Your Brain”:
“Dr. Harper’s writing style definitely held my attention and made me laugh many times while still informing me about some complicated neuroscience and health related topics. This book is a wonderful change from all the dry, dull, writing I usually read on a daily basis. I encourage everyone dealing with any of these issues or who is interested in becoming updated in the recent neuroscience research to purchase a copy and start reading it today.” — Allen Novian, PhD, LMFT, LPC-S
We really love this book because, with humor, patience, and lots of swearing, Dr. Faith shows readers the science behind what’s going on in their brains, and the process of retraining your mind to respond appropriately to the non-emergencies of everyday life, instead of freaking the fuck out.
