Summary

"The human brain evolved to prioritize short-term rewards over long-term needs. But while this behavioral architecture served our ancestors well, it is maladaptive in the face of a slow-moving climate crisis. Luckily, brains can change. Dr. Ann-Christine Duhaime shows how we can retrain our neurons to value behaviors that counteract climate change"--, Provided by publisher
