Summary

The Man-Eaters of Tsavo is a semi-autobiographical book written by British soldier and author John Henry Patterson. Published in 1907, it recounts his experiences in East Africa while supervising the construction of a railroad bridge over the Tsavo River in Kenya, in 1898. It is titled after a pair of man-eating lions that terrorized the undertaking for nine months until at last their reign of terror was put to an end by Patterson. His recounting of this incident projected him to fame, and it has also been the basis of numerous films, the best known being The Ghost and the Darkness (1996).

    Your brain was never built for infinite scroll. Mastering Motivation in the Age of Instant Reward explores the real neuroscience behind dopamine, habit formation, and the modern struggle to stay focused in a world of constant stimulation. Cutting through the myths of “detox culture,” this book explains how dopamine actually works — not as a pleasure chemical, but as the engine of curiosity, learning, and perseverance. It offers a clear, practical framework for rewiring reward systems through deliberate effort, anticipation, and balance, helping you regain control over attention, energy, and purpose. Grounded in modern psychology and motivation science, it’s a guide for anyone seeking meaning in an era of endless distraction — not by rejecting pleasure, but by redefining it.

    People frequently come to therapy believing they are broken.  They have been told this by countless people.  Over the past 33 years, I have worked with thousands of people and the majority of them don't have something wrong with them.  They are just missing skills.  This book is made up of education about the skills, examples and plans to learn the skills complete with exercises.  Why are these skills so important? When a person lacks skills, they are set up to experience difficult situations throughout their lives.  I have dedicated a chapter to gaslighting because this abusive behaviour robs people of some of the most essential skills, sets them up for emotional abuse, intimate partner violence, rape, sexual violence, physical abuse later in life.  These skills make it possible for us to integrate well with others, keep a solid sense of self, self-worth and have relationships that bring all parties joy.
