This felt like an important book to me, as I read it (meticulously, over a period of weeks), I experienced a series of flash bulb moments, where SO MUCH just made sense! Not just as I reflected on my communications and relationships with other people, but also in term of self-reflection, understanding and care.
The books talks of 3 brains, the gut brain, the heart brain and the head brain (read to the end and you will find the science/research behind this). We are encouraged to complete an online (free) questionnaire, to discover which of these is most dominant in ourselves and encouraged to think about the communication styles of our significant others, and work out why those signifiant communication breakdowns occur, and crucially what we can. do to stop them happening. With the use of anecdotal evidence, this book is engaging, readable and relevant.
This is a book that helps us parent (talking about how only 2 of the 3 brains are activated in our children, and how important our interactions are with our children to form those all important neural pathways). It helps its understanding the neuroscience behind our risk taking adolescents, and (hallelujah), how to successfully communicate with them!! It tackles divorce, and how this impacts our kids (crucially how to navigate this safely).
This is a book I will treasure. It will stay with me for a long time (I hope forever), and as such I wish to thank, and congratulate, the author on imparting this vital information in such an accessible way.
I extend my thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for allowing to review this book in exchange for an advance copy.
This book started off a little slow for me, but once I got into it, I learned a lot about the three brains. I usually find self-help books to be fairly similar, but this one provided new information that I was unfamiliar with. A great resource for improving relationships!
A transformative book that will change the way you approach relationships. The book introduces readers to the 3 Brains - Head, Heart, and Gut - and explains how they affect our behavior and decision-making in relationships.
Through relatable anecdotes and practical techniques, the author helps readers identify their dominant brain and communicate more effectively with partners who have a different dominant brain. The book provides readers with a new perspective on human behavior, allowing them to approach relationships from a place of empathy and understanding.
What sets this book apart is its ability to make complex concepts accessible and relatable. The author provides readers with an engaging and insightful look into the science behind human behavior, making it a must-read for anyone looking to improve their relationships and gain a deeper understanding of themselves and others.
A groundbreaking book that delves into the complexities of human behavior and the science behind our actions and thoughts. The book introduces readers to the concept of the 3 Brains - Head, Heart, and Gut - and explains how they shape our behavior and affect our relationships.
The author provides readers with practical techniques and tools to identify which brain dominates them and their partner, understand the strengths and weaknesses of each brain in relationships, and communicate effectively with partners who have a different dominant brain. The book is also filled with relatable anecdotes and real-world examples, making it an easy and enjoyable read.
What sets this book apart from other self-help books is its focus on the science behind human behavior. The author does an excellent job of explaining complex concepts in simple terms, making it accessible to everyone. Whether you're looking to improve your relationships or gain a better understanding of human behavior, this book is a must-read.
This is a bit of Psych 101 for the layman, with some of the five love languages woven in. The book focuses on three different ways of thinking, as well as how to work with people who think differently than you. It seems to be written more for the younger generation, based on cultural references used to illustrate concepts.
I would highly recommend this book, as it goes into depth explaining how the three brains impact us in relationships. There is a link for a quiz inside the book that you can take to determine which brain dominates you and your life. The book explains which brain you operate from. It goes into which brain your partner is operating from, how they express emotions, and how to deal with which brain is talking. The last section of the book cover children and their three brains. This book reinforces mBIT coaching and the three brains.
