This is a very well-written, easy to read book which is packed full of information about how the brain works and how the way it is wired influences the way we think. The book also provides guidance for how we can manage our minds and overcome negative thoughts.
The book is not written with excessive jargon and it contains plenty of stories to illustrate the scientific points. However, I personally found it to be quite science-heavy and I think you have to be very curious about the brain and how it works to enjoy this book. It is not a light read like some self-help books; however it is not as complex as a textbook.
With thanks to Netgalley and Baker Books for providing an advance review copy. All opinions are my own.
