For all of human history we had no measurable knowledge about how our minds and emotions actually work—and why we sabotage ourselves so predictably. The best we could hope for were conflicting beliefs embodied in the world's religious traditions.
But in the last 20 years, leading-edge scientists have been cracking the code of human nature. We finally understand, in a way that anyone can grasp, why we do what we do—what makes us tick.

"Michael and Connie have created a truly superb offering—one that effectively shows how the earlier parts of the brain have evolved during times and under circumstances that in today's world make them either a constant source of trouble (i.e., "sin," "dysfunctions," "pathologies") or sources of strength and wisdom (when honored). This is a program that really can change lives. Highly recommended!"
