Chiudi la porta del bagno anche quando sei solo in casa? Oppure... quando parli al telefono, cammini intorno alla stanza e non riesci a stare fermo? Aspetta, aspetta... non c'è bisogno di preoccuparsi. Infatti, qualunque sia la tua risposta... Domande del genere ti fanno pensare "perché lo faccio?" e "cosa significa per me e la mia personalità?”. In altre parole... C'è un motivo dietro i nostri comportamenti? Nonostante tutti gli sforzi per "conoscere noi stessi", la verità è che spesso sappiamo incredibilmente poco sulla nostra mente, e ancora meno su quella degli altri.

Pensaci un attimo: sei tu che controlli il tuo cervello... o è lui che controlla te? Se hai degli obiettivi, sogni o desideri nella vita...

È programmato solo per sopravvivere nel momento presente, proprio come il cervello dei nostri antenati 2000 anni fa. Se vuoi avere successo, è tempo di sconfiggere questa tendenza primordiale e fare dell'autodisciplina la tua nuova normalità. "Neuro-Disciplina" racconta la storia del nostro organo più pericoloso, il cervello.

Grazie a questo audiolibro, imparerai a leggere e comprendere emozioni, linguaggio e comportamento altrui: cosa li muove, motiva o demotiva, come pensano, cosa li emoziona veramente.
