It's just me. How science explains our quirks and habits

The human brain is the most complex object in the universe. Hence the eternal riddle and eternal paradox: is our mind capable of knowing itself? Will we understand what drives our feelings, thoughts, and actions? Besides existential questions, we also... face many other everyday and mundane ones: how do we make decisions, where do our habits come from…
Why, for example, do we suffer from procrastination and constantly postpone even urgent matters? Why does it seem to us that life in adulthood rushes at a tremendous speed? Why do we lie about trivial things or love to eat at night? Are these just inexplicable quirks? Or, by understanding what happens in the brain, can we change this? In this book, Jen Martin, a scientist from the University of Melbourne, will discuss the latest scientific research in the fields of psychology, neurobiology, sociology, and others, as well as the conclusions that scientists reach in their quest to learn more about the structure of the human brain and human behavior.
