Was a good read, easy to pick up and needed minimal medical knowledge. Just not my fave read of the year unfortunately

Quite simply one of the best books I've ever read on dealing with failure with a paradigm almost the equal of Dweck's growth mindset. 'Iteration' and 'experimentation' may well have changed my future - and I don't say that lightly.
I shall be recommending this to anyone smart enough to read it. I do wish there was, perhaps, a workbook to go with it listing more reframing examples but I imagine that will come. Superb, thank you for this.

While this book identifies an apparently heretofore unknown part of the brain that regulates internal reward and punishment, or success and failure, what it describes in terms of human behavior is nothing new under the sun. The habenula described in this book apparently regulates dopamine. The effects of dopamine in the brain are well known and documented.

I received this book as an ARC from NetGalley and the publisher.
