The Genius of Instinct: Reclaim Mother Nature's Tools for Enhancing Your Health, Happiness, Family, and Work

Description

Why are we sometimes so unhappy and unfulfilled?   Why do we sometimes get into the wrong relationships, take the wrong jobs, and make the wrong choices?   The answers and solutions to these everyday plights are revealed by today’s “scientists of the mind,” evolutionary psychologists who have discovered stunning new lessons about the power of instincts and their capacity to transform lives positively.   But too many of us have lost contact with our instincts. We don’t hear them. We don’t use them. And that gets us in trouble–over and over again.   Now, Dr. Hendrie Weisinger shows how to reconnect with the instincts Mother Nature gave you. You’ll rediscover the six most indispensable human instincts that have evolved over millions and millions of years. Then, you’ll learn how to use them to thrive in every part of your life...enhancing your health and happiness, your marriage and parenting, even your work and personal creativity!   Introduction     1                                                                                                                         Part I: Shelter Seek…So You Can Find Your Home     9 Chapter 1: Selecting an Empowering Environment     11                                    Chapter 2: The Face of Emotions     17                                                             Chapter 3: Home Hunting     27                                                                                    Chapter 4: Shelter Seeking Today     37                                                              Part II: Care Solicit…So You Can Protect Your Vulnerabilities     51 Chapter 5: Protecting Your Vulnerabilities     53                                                Chapter 6: The Benefits of Vulnerability     65                                                    Chapter 7: The Importance of Ghost Busters     71                                            Chapter 8: Care Soliciting Today     77                                                               Part III: Care Give…So You Can Develop the Future     89 Chapter 9: Developing the Future     91                                                             Chapter 10: I Gave at the Office     95                                                              Chapter 11: Care Giving Today     99                                                                 Part IV: Beautify…So You Can Pull People Toward You     115 Chapter 12: Pulling People Toward You     117                                                            Chapter 13: Beautify Today     123                                                                   Chapter 14: Broadly Attractive     133                                                                Part V: Co-op…So You Can Get People Working Together     143 Chapter 15: Team Game     145                                                                                    Chapter 16: Interaction: Play Ball!      153                                                                     Chapter 17: Stimulating Cooperation     161&nbsp...
