"The human mind is complex. We have to manage our thoughts, feelings and emotions on a daily basis, and sometimes this can be overwhelming. Understanding the physical, mental and emotional processes that take place when we feel and behave in certain ways is essential if we want to build a better relationship with our mind and live a happier life. Why do we feel certain emotions in specific situations? Why do we behave in particular ways? And what can we do to overcome the things that hold us back? Learn all this and more by delving into the world of psychology to build a better relationship with your mind."
