This book taps neuroscience and neuropsychology to provide hard facts about brain conditions and the behavior that emerges from powerful brain chemistry—a fascinating read for adolescents, parents, and teachers alike.

• Explains how complex social emotions such as love and hope can only come from foundational brain chemistry present at birth—the brain conditions that drive our adaptation and survival instincts

• Explores how a central design of gender-specific brain conditions rooted in ancient survival scripts provide yin-yang differences that result in the continuation of our species

• Discusses parenting—one of the most pressing needs and concerns of 21st-century life—from the perspective of neuroscience

• Documents how an understanding of how human brains are wired can help produce survivors, thrivers, achievers, and innovators without resorting to prescriptive medications
