Your brain wasn't made to live like this.

Do you feel like your mind never shuts off?

Constant worries, racing thoughts, difficulty relaxing, poor sleep,

and a permanent feeling of alertness are part of the routine

for millions of people. But what if anxiety wasn't a sign of

weakness, but rather the result of a brain trying to protect

you in a way that no longer works in the modern world?

In this book, Luciana Priscila presents a journey based on

discoveries in neuroscience, psychology, and medicine to

explain, clearly and accessibly, why anxiety happens and,

most importantly, how the brain can learn a new way.

You will discover that chronic anxiety doesn't define who you

are. It represents a pattern learned by the nervous system—and

everything that has been learned can be transformed.

Throughout these pages, you will understand:

• How evolution shaped the human brain and why it remains

in a constant state of alert.

• The role of the amygdala, prefrontal cortex, hippocampus,

and other brain systems in anxiety.

• How stress, trauma, inflammation, gut microbiota, and sleep

deprivation influence your mental health.

• How automatic thoughts fuel fear and how to reprogram them.

With engaging language and evidence-based research, Your Brain

Wasn't Made to Live Like This shows that your brain isn't broken.

It has simply learned patterns that can be modified.

If you want to understand your mind, regain emotional balance,

and build a life with more clarity, serenity, and freedom, this book

will be a valuable companion on that journey.

Because your brain was never made to live in a state of permanent

war. But it was extraordinarily created to learn, adapt, and start over.
