From evolution biologist Rebecca Heiss, a self-improvement book for science-interested readers: the solution for those of us looking to understand the toxic biological behaviors that drive us to self-sabotage, and the cure to a life lived on autopilot. INSTINCT offers surprising truths gleaned from evolutionary biology and imparts fresh, actionable tools that anyone can use to rewire their prehistoric minds and consciously craft a better life.Our brains are sorely unprepared for the world in which they live. Our biological instincts were built for survival in a world of scarcity and danger, in a limited habitat, within a local tribe. But today most of us in the developed world live in abundance and relative safety, across nearly unlimited habitats, as part of a nearly limitless networked social existence. We want to believe that our brains have evolved commensurately along with the rapid increase in technology and innovation that humans have driven in recent history. But the reality is that biology is slow and our brains are behind. The result? We act on instincts that are devastatingly mismatched to our current environment, undermining our productivity, success, and happiness. It's time to step back from these misaligned behaviors and consider a new approach--one that appreciates the roots of our instinctual behaviors and uses our biology skillfully rather than attempting to tackle 100, 000 years of instinct with a 21-day "quick-fix."INSTINCT is roadmap for harnessing the power of evolutionary biology to redirect the self-sabotaging behaviors of our subconscious mind--using biology as a tool for, rather than against, ourselves. This book takes a unique approach to the world of business by tackling seven of our most powerful (and damaging) instincts from an evolutionary perspective. Only by understanding the root causes of our behaviors will we be able to intentionally override and intervene when instincts drive us to unintentionally undermine our productivity. With us pouring money into diversity initiatives, team trainings, and new technological advances, why can't we seem to get ahead of our own nature? Instinct delivers the answers we so desperately need now.
