Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Your brain has a secret conductor. It's time to meet it.Glutamate is the most abundant excitatory neurotransmitter in your brain. It fires every time you learn something new, reach for a goal, feel the pull of a craving, or push through fear. It's behind your best days - the sharp focus, the creative flow, the moments where everything clicks.It's also behind your worst ones.When glutamate runs unchecked, it fuels anxiety, obsession, burnout, and the kind of mental loops that keep you awake at 3am replaying conversations you can't change. The same molecule that lights you up can burn you out.Glutamate: Hidden Hero or Shadow Villain is the first accessible guide to understanding and intentionally working with this powerful neurotransmitter - written for real people, not neuroscience labs.With 38 years of experience in human psychology and behavioural change, Martin Rothery cuts through the jargon to reveal something most self-help books miss entirely: emotions lead, chemistry follows. You are not at the mercy of your brain chemistry. Your brain chemistry responds to you.Inside, you'll discover: Why glutamate is the real engine behind learning, memory, and motivation - and how to use that. How your emotional state directly shapes your neurochemistry - not the other way around. The hidden role glutamate plays in compulsion, craving, and addictive patterns. Why some meditation and therapy approaches backfire - and what actually works. How trauma leaves excitotoxic scars in the brain, and how healing reshapes them. How to reach and sustain flow states without tipping into compulsive fixation. Practical tools to calibrate your own neural excitation every single day.This isn't a dry neuroscience manual. It's a hands-on guide to becoming the conductor of your own mind. Written with precision, humour, and genuine depth - the kind of book that makes the complex feel immediately useful.Your neurons have already RSVP'd. Time to take the stage.
