Description

Imagine Dr. Seuss meeting a neuroscientist, and what emerges from that union is the book, Amy Amygdala.

Amy moves in and helps us discover the curious reasons why we sometimes become impulsively reactive or explosive in stressful, fearful, or alarming circumstances with others. It's as if something within our brain is triggered, prompting us to act emotionally, without thinking, in ways we may soon regret.

In those circumstances, if our brains were connected to sensors, we would see our amygdalae, the small almond-shaped part of our brain, being triggered. Sometimes, before the thinking part of our brain can catch up, we impulsively act out.

This book takes us on a journey to understand this process and discover more effective and productive ways to navigate through some of life's challenges.
