David JP Phillips

David JP Phillips is a Swedish author, speaker and expert on communication, presentation skills and the neuroscience of influence. He is known for his viral TED talks on the science of storytelling and the hormonal responses that great communication triggers in audiences. High on Life draws on neuroscience to explain how the six hormones that drive human happiness — dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin, endorphins, testosterone and cortisol — work, and how we can consciously influence their levels through everyday choices. The book offers a practical, science-based approach to increasing wellbeing by understanding and managing your own brain chemistry. Available as both a book and an audiobook, High on Life offers practical and fascinating listening and reading for anyone who wants to understand the neuroscience of happiness and learn how to give themselves a natural, healthy boost.
