Description
The Hour Between Dog and Wolf: How Risk Taking Transforms Us, Body and Mind by John Coates. In high-pressure situations, our bodies undergo a dramatic transformation. A moment of decision can shift from calm rationality to impulsive risk-taking, and back again. Neuroscientist John Coates reveals the surprising biology behind this phenomenon, exploring how stress in the workplace can impair our judgment and even damage our health. Coates' groundbreaking research identifies a key feedback loop between testosterone and success, which can cloud men's judgment in high-pressure decision-making. He also shows how sports science can help us toughen our bodies against the ravages of stress. This insightful book sheds new light on issues that affect us all, from the biology of gut feelings to the impact of stress on our well-being. By understanding the science behind risk-taking and stress, we can make better decisions and improve our overall health. The Hour Between Dog and Wolf is a thought-provoking exploration of the complex relationships between our bodies, minds, and environments.
