    About this ebook

    In today's fast-paced world, it's tough to find the time to read. But with Joosr guides, you can get the key insights from bestselling non-fiction titles in less than 20 minutes. Whether you want to gain knowledge on the go or find the books you'll love, Joosr's brief and accessible eBook summaries fit into your life. Find out more at joosr.com.

    In today's society we have more than we've ever had before. So why are so many of us unhappy? The answer may be inside our own brains.

    Our minds are powerful, fascinating, complex... and entirely maddening to us. Daily our own minds nag us with criticizing messages and painful critique, making it harder than ever to be happy. We have a hard time fixing this because we don't understand how our brains work, but Sane New World is here to change that. With examples, explanations and simple exercises, this book will serve as the user's manual for your brain, showing you how it works, why it harasses you so much, and what you can do about it.

    You will learn:

    · How our society is actually making us less happy

    · Why our brains bombard us with negativity and self-loathing

    · What mindfulness is and how it can help you take control of your brain.

      What’s it about?

      Our modern age is one of the most prosperous times in human history. Centuries ago, we used to forage and hunt for our food, but now we produce and consume tons of food daily. We used to have trouble finding shelter from the elements and predators, but now we have housing and protection to keep ourselves safe. We’ve even found a way to communicate with people half a world away through the internet, phones, and social networking. And yet, even with all this, true happiness seems to be more and more elusive.

      So why are we so unhappy? With our advanced society, don’t we have everything we need? What is it that keeps happiness from us?
