About this work
Description
"I wrote this book with a little help from a monk, who explains how the mind works and also gives some mindfulness excercises, and a neuroscientist, who explains where everything that makes us can be found in the brain. We answer every question you've ever had about: evolution, thoughts, emotions, the body, addictions, relationships, kids, the future and compassion. How to be Human is extremely funny, true and the only manual you'll need to help you upgrade your mind as much as you've upgraded your iPhone" -- provided by publisher
