Why is it useful to know how our brains work?

​

Most of us navigate life without fully understanding how our brains work, much like driving without knowing how the engine functions. However, unlike cars, our brains don’t come with a dashboard or manual. While we receive signals from our brain, we're rarely taught how to interpret them, especially concerning thoughts, behaviors, and emotions. By gaining a basic understanding of the brain, we can better recognize the reasons behind our actions, giving us more control.
