But while this behavioral architecture served our ancestors well, it is maladaptive in the face of a slow-moving climate crisis. Luckily, brains can change. Dr. Ann-Christine Duhaime shows how we can retrain our neurons to value behaviors that counteract climate change"--Provided by publisher 520 $a Increasingly politicians, activists, media figures, and the public at large agree that climate change is an urgent problem. Yet that sense of urgency rarely translates into serious remedies. If we believe the climate crisis is real, why is it so difficult to change our behavior and our consumer tendencies? Luckily, we can sway our brains, and those of others, to alter our behaviors. Duhaime describes concrete, achievable interventions that have been shown to encourage our neurological circuits to embrace new rewards. Such small, incremental steps that individuals take, whether in their roles as consumers, in the workplace, or in leadership positions, are necessary to mitigate climate change. The more we understand how our tendencies can be overridden by our brain's capacity to adapt, Duhaime argues, the more likely we are to have a future--Publisher's description. 650 0 $a Neuropsychology. 650 0 $a Brain $x Psychological aspects. 650 0 $a Climate change mitigation. 650 0 $a Brain $x Evolution. 650 0 $a Neural circuitry $x Adaptation. 650 6 $a Cerveau $x Aspect psychologique. 650 6 $a Climat $x Attenuation. $x Attenuation. 650 6 $a Reseaux nerveux $x Adaptation. 650 7 $a Brain $x Evolution. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00837627 650 7 $a Brain $x Psychological aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00837652 650 7 $a Climate change mitigation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01749583 650 7 $a Neural circuitry $x Adaptation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01036246 650 7 $a Neuropsychology. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01036493 650 7 $a SCIENCE / Life Sciences / Anatomy & Physiology. $2 bisacsh 776 08 $i Online version: $a Duhaime, Ann-Christine. $t Minding the climate. $d Cambridge, Massachusetts Harvard University Press 2022 $z 9780674287624 $w (OCoLC)1344158922 $w (OCoLC)1344158922 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117025003.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0ED8B6926D7C11EEBBB0FB5526ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
