Overview

Every emotion you feel-joy, anxiety, love, or anger-is powered by an intricate network of hormones working silently within your body. Hormones and the Emotional Self takes you on a journey into this invisible world, revealing how the brain and body communicate to create the experiences that define your inner life. From the rush of adrenaline in high-stakes moments to the gentle surge of oxytocin that deepens human connection, this book shows how hormones influence not just what you feel, but how you think, act, and respond to the world. Sophie Rivers blends cutting-edge neuroscience with practical insight, translating complex biology into accessible, actionable knowledge. You'll discover why chronic stress disrupts your emotional balance, how dopamine drives habits and motivation, and why serotonin and progesterone play critical roles in mood regulation. Beyond understanding, you'll learn strategies to work with your biology-optimizing sleep, nutrition, movement, and relationships-to cultivate emotional resilience and clarity. This book is more than a scientific guide; it's a roadmap for self-awareness and personal empowerment. You'll learn to recognize when emotional reactions stem from hormonal patterns, gain tools to reset your internal chemistry, and understand how to navigate life's challenges with greater calm, confidence, and compassion. Whether you feel emotions intensely or struggle to connect with them, Hormones and the Emotional Self equips you with the knowledge to embrace your inner world fully, make informed choices, and build a more balanced, emotionally intelligent life. Dive into the science of your feelings, and emerge with a deeper understanding of yourself-because mastering your hormones is the first step toward mastering your emotions.
