Learn the 4 F's, 4 P's and 4 B's of Balancing Your Body and Brain Health

I believe I have discovered the underlying mechanism for common disorders (constipation, sleep disorder, pain, high blood sugar and pressure, heart disease, infertility, low libido, cancer, depression, dementia, diabesity, addictions, anxieties, psychosis), and discords (fights, divorces, lawsuits, riots, wars, etc.). Imbalance and fatigue are so prevalent in our lives that we have become blind to them. Today, humans suffer mostly from abuse not by others but by their own brain. The world’s largest battles are fought inside human minds. We are the only species metamorphosed to have the brain in the driver seat of our body-mind axis. Yet most of us are more knowledgeable and updated about our phones, apps, games, pets, homes, cars and jobs than about our own brain and body, and how they work (or get burned out) together.

In my book “Masks, Crutches, and Daggers: The Science of our Self-delusional, Addictive Homo economicus Brain,” which took me longer than my PhD dissertation to write, I draw from first principles in a wide range of fields such as neuroscience, evolutionary biology, thermodynamics, physics, psychology, philosophy and economics to help us understand the roots of fatigue and imbalance that plague human lives, rich and poor alike. I tried to use simple language so the book is like a practical Guide (User Manual) for balancing our body and brain. Thanks to independent thinkers and readers like you, it’s currently ranked in Amazon’s top 5 Hot New Releases (in Evolutionary Psychology and Behavioral Psychology) competing against Big House, Big-budget Publishers.

To explain and simplify the evolution of the main brain circuits, in the book I refer to the four main functions of brains in vertebrates and mammals, what the evolutionary psychologists and neuroscientists humorously call the 4F’s of survival, the acronym mnemonics denoting Food, Fight, Flight, F..k (reproductive mating). Our brain has evolved to manage the 4 F’s through the 4 P’s of risk reduction, which are:
