Why do we do things we know we shouldn't?
Anyone who has ever wondered why they never seem to be able to stick to their diet, who marvels at how little work some of their colleagues get away with doing, who despairs at the anti-social behaviour of their teenagers, who can't understand how love-cheats can handle multiple extra-marital affairs, who struggles to resist the lure of the comfy sofa and the third helping of cake, or who makes themselves thoroughly bitter by endlessly comparing themselves to others - well, this book is for you.
The Science of Sin brings together the latest findings from neuroscience research to shed light on the universally fascinating subject of temptation - where it comes from, how we are able to resist and why we all succumb to it eventually. Structured around a loose interpretation of the seven deadly sins, this book will explore what motivates our own and others behaviour.
From time to time, we all give into the urges enticing us to do this things we know we shouldn't, and neurobiologist and TV presenter Jack Lewis will illuminate the neural battles between temptation and restraint. He will explain the brain mechanisms of temptation in a friendly and approachable style, and indicate strategies to help us better manage our impulses in a way that will lead to improvements in health, happiness and productivity. |
