Beskrivning

What if your mind isn’t broken - just misunderstood?In Your Normal Mind, psychologist John Hannan flips the script on mental health. Instead of treating anxiety, low mood, and overthinking as “disorders,” he shows how they’re normal functions of an ancient survival system still running on Stone Age code. The result is a mind that overreacts, panics in safe situations, obsesses over status, and feels lonely even when connected - all perfectly logical once you understand evolution’s hidden rules.Drawing on decades of clinical work in Defence, remote communities, and trauma recovery, Hannan translates complex science into straightforward, actionable strategies. Using clear models -from the “smoke alarm brain” to the “elephant and rider” - he teaches how to:Decode why fear, anger, and shame overpower logicRetrain oversensitive systems through controlled exposure and feedbackUse evolutionary insights to manage emotions and rebuild belonging and purposeEach chapter moves from theory to field-tested insight, with practical guidance for applying it. The voice is grounded, skeptical of jargon, and deeply humane - informed by real-world crisis work where getting it right meant saving lives.This isn’t a pep talk or pop psychology. It’s evolution explained, decoded, and repurposed - so you can stop fighting your normal mind and start training it.Perfect for people who want truth, not sympathy, Your Normal Mind belongs on the same shelf as Outlive, Dopamine Nation, Lost Connections, and The Anxious Generation.

Mer om författaren

John Hannan has spent decades where psychology meets reality - from Defence and heavy industry to the Royal Flying Doctor Service and critical incident response. He has led crisis interventions in remote Australia, trained thousands in resilience and performance, and built systems that bridge hard science and human struggle.His message is simple: your mind isn’t broken. It’s doing what evolution designed it to do - and once you understand that, you can reprogram it to serve your life, not just your genes.
