Reviews
Advance Praise for Good Reasons for Bad Feelings "Very engagingly written for the general reader, Nesse's book is hugely important for the future of mental health care, and Nesse is the pre-eminent person to write it." --Eric Klinger, Emeritus Professor of Psychology, University of Minnesota "Two sets of ideas inform this fine book: one, the cold-hearted logic of natural selection; the other, the practical wisdom of a compassionate psychiatrist. The tension is palpable. The result is riveting." --Nicholas Humphrey, Emeritus Professor of Psychology, London School of Economics, author of Soul Dust

Synopsis
A founder of the field of evolutionary medicine uses his decades of experience as a psychiatrist to provide a much-needed new framework for making sense of mental illness. Why do I feel bad? There is real power in understanding our bad feelings. With his classic Why We Get Sick , Dr. Randolph Nesse helped to establish the field of evolutionary medicine. Now he returns with a book that transforms our understanding of mental disorders by exploring a fundamentally new question. Instead of asking why certain people suffer from mental illness, Nesse asks why natural selection has left us all with fragile minds. Drawing on revealing stories from his own clinical practice and insights from evolutionary biology, Nesse shows how negative emotions are useful in certain situations, yet can become overwhelming. Anxiety protects us from harm in the face of danger, but false alarms are inevitable. Low moods prevent us from wasting effort in pursuit of unreachable goals, but they often escalate into pathological depression. Other mental disorders, such as addiction and anorexia, result from the mismatch between modern environment and our ancient human past. And there are good evolutionary reasons for sexual disorders and for why genes for schizophrenia persist. Taken together, these and many more insights help to explain the pervasiveness of human suffering, and show us new paths for relieving it by understanding individuals as individuals.

    Best seller on eBay. Super fast shipping. The packaging was superb when they heard it was being purchased by my seven-year-old they even gift wrapped it. Look at the picture of how much bubble wrap they used. Better than described and an amazing value. I haven’t seen my son so happy. Thank you purchase on Michael Jordan quote paper.

    The pool gate safety lock arrived via USPS and was packed professionally with bubblewrap and a nice 'thank you' note from the seller. Excellent transaction—I'm pleased with the value of the product, packaging, and shipping speed.
