Instinct: How Animal Nature Controls Us and What to Do About It

While you live in the 21st century, your brain is hunting a mammoth. We’re programmed with instinctive reactions that help you not get run over by a car and, at the same time, make you see an enemy in someone with different skin color.

Dr. Rebecca Heiss, a biologist and stress expert, a TEDx speaker, and founder and CEO of a self-care platform, helps you see what exactly in our behavior is dictated by instincts. She shares practical advice on how to tailor them to yourself and:

• reduce stress from the thought of public speaking;

• consciously add joyful moments in extreme situations to shift your brain from anxiety and fear to enthusiasm and motivation;

• understand which people your team needs—team players or strong loners—and much more.
