Habits that beat your brain

Description
Book Introduction
What is my innate brain type and what tendencies does it lead to?
Breaking Bad Habits Caused by Chemical Imbalances in the Brain
Why do we do things that don't serve us? There are many reasons, including memories of the past, social and cultural connections, family influences, feelings about those around us, and the physical constraints of the situation. But one factor often overlooked is the hidden influence of our unique brain chemistry.
Completed after 40 years of medical collaboration by clinical psychologist Connell Cowan and physician David Kiefer, this book explores how innate neurotransmitter imbalances—dopamine or serotonin deficiencies—create different behavioral patterns and responses to stress.
Furthermore, it diagnoses and identifies your personality type based on your usual behavior patterns and reactions, and explains in detail how these tendencies can cause problems in your daily life, home life, and work life, as well as how to redesign the resulting bad habits into healthy routines.
Based on a wealth of cutting-edge research and scientific evidence on neurotransmitters, this book provides practical assistance by providing understanding through a variety of counseling cases and offering specific solutions.

Into the book
Our neurotransmitters tend to be biased towards one side or the other.
In other words, it means that an imbalance of neurotransmitters, either excitatory or inhibitory, moves the nervous system.
An imbalance in either direction is particularly focused on our efforts to maintain a sense of comfort while also gaining control and dominance over our actions.
These two imbalances in neurotransmitters are created through dopamine or serotonin.
--- p.30~31
Everyone likes certainty.
No one is particularly attracted to uncertainty.
However, offensive types are less sensitive to uncertainty than defensive types.
Because the relationship with awakening is different.
The neurotransmitter dopamine codes for certainty, and serotonin codes for uncertainty.
When we are confident about the circumstances surrounding an action or decision, our dopamine neurons fire at a higher rate.
--- p.54
Defensive types become more flexible because they have to deal with a frantic nervous system, and this kind of lifelong learning becomes a skill that works especially positively when dealing with change.
Being able to move more nimbly in response to rapidly changing demands and environments is a functional side effect of the chemical imbalance in the defensive brain.
Aggressive types tend to have a more rigid approach to the world, relying more on routines and resisting change.
--- p.86
Both defensive and offensive types have an equal aversion to ambiguity, but they relate to each other in slightly different ways.
Aggressive types usually see ambiguity as an obstacle, something to be pushed aside in their race to reach the point or result.
We're busy connecting the dots long before they're all revealed.
On the other hand, defensive types slow down when they encounter ambiguous situations here and there, because uncertainty can be dangerous.
Defensive types also want to reduce confusion, but not at the cost of missing something that could put them at risk.
--- p.115
Defensive types tend to feel anxious on the edge.
You can anticipate the anxiety that comes with crossing boundaries and restructure that experience.
You could describe the feeling at this time as 'it's just a strong chemical reaction', 'it's intense and exciting', or 'my heart is pounding'.
In reality, it's just something that happens in the nervous system.
By consistently practicing and changing your perception of your own sudden awakenings, you can change your relationship with uncomfortable emotions into a positive one.
And these changes have the effect of increasing the number of targets that are comfortable enough to act on, and reducing avoidance behavior.
--- p.145
Anxiety and anger are both associated with high levels of arousal.
Defensive types interpret it as anxiety and internalize it, while offensive types interpret it as anger and try to vent it.
In a state of high arousal, both sides interfere with clear thinking and responsibility.
To 'ascertain responsibility', defensive types must ensure that logic and rationality are the true foundation of decision-making, not attempts to manage discomfort.
And the aggressive type needs to recognize the role anger and blame-shifting play in their work and see themselves as both the cause and the solution.
--- p.207~208
We found that non-reflective, intentional actions really do have an effect on peer relationships.
Clarity of purpose should be the engine that activates decision-making.
Intention based on deep thought can lead to smart decisions.
It's the opposite of being a slave to your own brain chemistry.
--- p.246
In a recent study, researchers found that the diversity of our microbiome is linked to the number of social relationships we have.
The more diverse the non-autophagic populations in our digestive tract, the greater the number of relationships.
And conversely, researchers have found that those of us with less diverse microbiomes are more anxious and prone to depression.
This is the first comprehensive study to link the composition of our microbiome to personality variables.
They found that people with higher gut microbiome diversity tend to be more extroverted and sociable, while those with lower gut microbiome diversity tend to be more prone to stress and anxiety.
--- p.259
When the prefrontal cortex reconnects, we sometimes realize that we only loved part of our spouse.
You realize that there is something you have been ignoring, passing over, or assuming will change because the person loves you.
The most insidious and common clause in our unspoken contract is who we entrust our happiness to.
Often we make our spouse, not ourselves, our primary source of happiness and satisfaction.
--- p.298
We don't just eat because we're hungry.
And more importantly, most of us eat to feel comfortable.
In the past, people had less access to unhealthy foods or experienced chronic stress in their daily lives.
This current situation creates the perfect conditions for activating chemical imbalances in our brain that are negatively affecting us.
Both defensive and offensive types can fall victim to using food intake as a self-soothing strategy.
In other words, it means that an imbalance of neurotransmitters, either excitatory or inhibitory, moves the nervous system.
An imbalance in either direction is particularly focused on our efforts to maintain a sense of comfort while also gaining control and dominance over our actions.

Publisher's Review
The reward-seeking brain vs. the risk-averse brain
Brain science that corrects the imbalance in my head
“Why can’t I make bold decisions?”
“Why do I care so much about my health?”
“Why am I staying home when I promised myself I would go exercise?”
“Why is it so hard for me to finish things?”
“Why do I keep getting angry when I know I’ll regret it later?”
“Why do I keep buying things I don’t need?”
Why do we do things that don't serve us? There are many reasons, including memories of the past, social and cultural connections, family influences, feelings about those around us, and the physical constraints of the situation. But one factor often overlooked is the hidden influence of our unique brain chemistry.
Completed after 40 years of medical collaboration by clinical psychologist Connell Cowan and physician David Kiefer, this book explores how innate neurotransmitter imbalances—dopamine or serotonin deficiencies—create different behavioral patterns and responses to stress.
Furthermore, it diagnoses and identifies your personality type based on your usual behavior patterns and reactions, and explains in detail how these tendencies can cause problems in your daily life, home life, and work life, as well as how to redesign the resulting bad habits into healthy routines.
Based on a wealth of cutting-edge research and scientific evidence on neurotransmitters, this book provides practical assistance by providing understanding through a variety of counseling cases and offering specific solutions.
“Our behavior is related to the distribution of neurotransmitters and is an expression of how we cope with stress.
The patterned strategies people use to manage stress are innate and deeply ingrained in the neurotransmitters we inherit.
…when we are stressed, we behave in certain ways, and the roots of those behaviors are encoded in components of the autonomic nervous system.” _Page 19
Offensive Brain vs. Defensive Brain
Our autonomic nervous system is made up of the sympathetic nervous system, which excites and stimulates, and the parasympathetic nervous system, which calms and relaxes. The neurotransmitters that operate these two nervous systems are always actively working to maintain balance and restore comfort.
However, no one is born with a perfect balance of neurotransmitters responsible for these two nervous systems.
It tends to lean towards one side.
This subtle biological imbalance creates our unconscious tendencies.
The two authors call the type that lacks dopamine, which excites our nervous system, the aggressive type, and the type that lacks serotonin, which calms our nervous system, the defensive type.
The aggressive type has a low arousal state because they lack dopamine, so they tend to pursue stimulation, that is, rewards. On the other hand, the defensive type has a high arousal state because they lack serotonin, so they tend to calm down, that is, avoid danger.
Aggressive types are generally optimistic and extroverted, while defensive types are usually pessimistic and introverted.
Instead, aggressive types are easily distracted and can lead to impulsive behavior, while defensive types can focus relatively easily and are willing to postpone present gratification for the future.
These are all instinctive reactions aimed at one goal: comfort and stability.
ㆍAggressive brain (dopamine-deficient): Sensitive to rewards, difficulty controlling impulses, high desire for new things, extroverted and optimistic personality, prone to distraction, quick but inaccurate thinking, difficulty coping with change, prone to expressing anger.
ㆍDefensive brain (serotonin deficiency): Sensitive to risk, easy to delay gratification, high desire for familiarity, introverted and pessimistic personality, high concentration, slow but accurate thinking, flexible to change, tend to hold anger inside.
But our instinctive coping strategies, centered on comfort, lead us down a wrong path and cause us suffering in many ways.
It is not wise to trade temporary comfort for lasting pain.
Recognizing your own brain type characteristics and tendencies can motivate you to move beyond emotional discomfort.
A personalized, lifestyle-focused guide to your brain's tendencies
This book explores how our innate brain chemical imbalances manifest in real life and presents proven, effective, and personalized remediation strategies.
First, we will examine the differences between the aggressive and defensive types in terms of their goals (success and ambition) at work, their attitudes toward work, and their relationships with coworkers, using examples. We will also provide specific guidance on how to integrate the weaknesses of each type into their strengths.
It also provides a practical guide, covering a wealth of topics including the changes in the body's chemistry that occur when people meet, develop feelings for each other, and fall in love; how to deal with conflicts that arise between spouses after marriage; and how to identify and raise aggressive and defensive children.
Finally, we explore common yet often overlooked lifestyle habits, such as healthy eating habits tailored to your brain type, ways to resolve sleep disorders, and how to wisely cope with various stressful situations. We then suggest medically and empirically proven ways to improve these habits.
This helps me understand and accept not only myself but also others as they are, and helps me move forward in more developed relationships.
“Defensiveness can distort one’s ability to prioritize the importance of tasks in an attempt to avoid the anxiety that comes with difficult and stressful tasks.
So we've found that regularly reviewing how we prioritize our work is particularly helpful for defensive types.
…if you are more likely to postpone a task that causes relatively more anxiety, it is better to do that task first.” _Page 212
How to Free Yourself from Brain Control
We think we own and control our brains, but in reality, our brains often control us.
Even without our intention, our brains can make us anxious, fearful, stimulate us, or even express anger.
The brain has a single purpose and very specific strategy to make you feel good, rather than having your best interests in mind.
It's important to remember that the brain's goals are often completely at odds with our intentions and what we know to be a healthy and constructive life.
Anyone who has ever experienced the power of habit and the difficulty of change can identify one of these two tendencies and discover the practical, scientific basis for taking control of their brain.
The most important thing in developing these strategies is understanding how serotonin and dopamine work and what type you are.
Armed with this new information, readers can learn to recognize their unconscious habits and reflexive behaviors and transform them into healthy habits by developing intentional self-control.
