Why is it easier to pull yourself together, focus, and solve complex problems during some periods, while at other times it's difficult to cope with even routine tasks?
Most likely, the so-called "mood hormones" and their systems are involved. They regulate energy levels, influence motivation, contribute to feelings of satisfaction, and determine how we react to stress.
The book explains the workings of the most important "mood hormones" in detail: how changes in dopamine levels affect the drive to act and the sense of motivation, how serotonin is related to feelings of stability and overall emotional background, how oxytocin creates a sense of trust in social interactions, and how cortisol participates in stress response and helps the body cope with stress.
The goal of the series "Encyclopedia of Quick Knowledge" is to explain complex subjects simply, briefly, and engagingly. The books will serve as an excellent source of basic knowledge and deliver a general understanding of key terms and concepts in various fields. The books will be interesting to readers of all ages who wish to expand their knowledge in one area or another in a quick and engaging manner.
