How can I tell what I really want? How can I stop doing things I don’t enjoy? How do random rewards control our behaviour? How can I avoid doomscrolling? In this book, Professor Robert West and his son, Jamie, once again delve into the psychology of motivation, this time focussing on our ‘animal brain’, the part responsible for habits, instincts and desires. Packed with information, humour and practical tips, React explores the basic building blocks of behaviour and reveals how we can take control of our impulses so they work for, rather than against, us.
