Has your best friend ever lied to your face? Have you ever laughed while your friend was crying? Have you ever lashed out at your sister and later regretted it? Life can often make you experience intense feelings, from scary anger to intense crushes to overwhelming happiness. Decoding the Mind will help you understand what's really going on in your (and your friends'!) brains. Plus, this fascinating topic teaches science curriculum content related to biology and evolution. Jokes aside, mental health is important, so these titles will also help you understand when these behaviours and feelings aren't normal and it's time to seek help.
Is there someone you can't stop thinking about? Just a friend or is it a crush? Could all those heart-pounding feelings even be love? Where do these emotions come from? The answer is in the science of affection! From enjoying the bond of family and friends or the smallest flutters in your stomach to the gooiest, mushiest of loves, emotions can run high. But next time you or your friends feel all warm and fuzzy, you'll understand what's really going on in your brains. Plus, you'll learn tips for decoding what's happening in your body and find out how to strengthen your self-love. Mental health is as important as your heart, so when affectionate behaviours and feelings have crossed the line, you'll also learn when it's time to reach out for help.
Can't sleep? Too many things to worry about? Or do you get lost in your mind thinking about all the ways tomorrow could go wrong? Why does this happen? The answer is in the science behind worry!

But next time you or your friends freeze up with worry or fears, you'll understand what's really going on in your brains. Plus, you'll learn tips for decoding what's happening in your body and find out how anxiety can actually be a superpower. No worries! Mental health is still important, so when fears and anxious feelings have crossed the line, you'll also learn when it's time to reach out for help.
Have you ever flown off the handle with your best friend or sibling? Maybe you were just so angry, but you didn't really know why. The answer is in the science of rage! Whether you keep your anger bottled up or sometimes lash out without meaning to, life can sometimes feel emotional. But next time you or your friends get cross, you'll understand what's really going on in your brains. Plus, you'll learn tips for decoding aggressive body language and how to listen when your anger is telling you something is wrong. Find out what's happening in your body and how anger can actually be useful. But keep your head! Mental health is still important, so when rage and aggressive feelings have crossed the line, you'll also learn when it's time to reach out for help.
Do you get tearful watching a soppy film? Or hold back sniffles when your best friend suddenly ignores you? Maybe you sometimes just get a case of the blues you can't seem to shake. Have you wondered why? The answer is in the science behind unhappiness! Whether you keep your tears bottled up or sometimes let it all out, life can sometimes feel emotional. But next time you or your friends have a good cry, you'll understand what's really going on in your brains. Plus, you'll learn tips for decoding what's happening in your body and find out how tears can sometimes be helpful.

Have you ever laughed at something that wasn't funny? Maybe you've laughed at a really serious moment during a film. Did you wonder why? The answer is in the science of laughter!

Plus, you'll learn tips for decoding body language and find out about the benefits that come with laughter.
