High on Yourself – Endorphins as Medicine

Norwegian title: Høy på deg sjæl

In this book, Aili Kristina Hannisdal gives you a fully loaded tool kit for exploiting the feel-good substances produced by our magical brain.

Who wouldn’t want to enjoy an endorphin kick? Why not have a cold shower – or how about dancing to your favourite music at full blast with somebody you love? You’ll definitely feel uplifted and full of feel-good substances afterwards. To understand how you can bring out these good feelings you need to train your brain. This will enable you to ‘reprogramme’ bad habits and understand the vast jigsaw puzzle made up of mood, affect, emotions and feelings.

And once you know how the brain works, you can learn how to get to know yourself better. You can choose to consciously feel the difficult and good emotions that are a part of you. They aren’t harmful once you know how to trigger the good substances.

Aili Kristina Hannisdal, a doctor specialising in psychiatry, draws on her expert knowledge to give you precisely what you need to understand why you are you. The book will provide you with plenty of tips and advice for getting your brain into better shape.
