Für mein Gehirn bin ich selbst verantwortlich: Wie die Umwelt die Persönlichkeit formt – von der Zeugung bis zum Tod. (German Edition) (Original PDF from Publisher)

By Konrad Lehmann
Why am I who I am? Is my personality genetically determined? Is my destiny determined by conception? Or do I have a chance to change myself actively and independently?Yes, say systemic neurobiology and psychology today: In all stages of life, the environment influences the brain and thus the development and expression of our personality. As a renowned neurobiologist, the author has been researching this connection for twenty years, and extensive human studies confirm it: Whether we grow up and live in a diverse and green or in an unstimulating environment, whether we are socially secure or uprooted, even subtle influences such as light and The month of birth has a measurable and sometimes significant influence on the brain and personality. This non-fiction book shows you that you are the master of yourself, and how you can take your own life into your own hands again and again by changing the environment. We have the opportunity to change ourselves through our environment. We are free in our decisions and our personality and therefore responsible for our own brain. The modern understanding of the brain combines freedom, openness and responsibility. The author calls this idea “neuro-humanism” and sets it against the doctrine of the external determination of humans.
