Professor Dubynin was inspired to write a book on the neurobiology of behavior by the success of his lecture course, 'The Brain and Needs.'

Biological needs are the foundation of our mental activity. Constantly replacing one another, they push a person to perform certain actions, set goals, and achieve them. Motivating both the immediate and long-term plans of each of us, biological needs drive the economy, science, art, and, ultimately, history.

Expanding on the themes of the book—hunger and curiosity, fear and aggression, love and care for offspring, the desire to lead, freedom, and the joy of movement—the author aims to bring the reader closer to an understanding of their own brain and body, and explains how to become a skilled user of the mechanisms and programs of the nervous system inherent in us in order to manifest and realize personal giftedness.
