About the Book

In a world defined by rapid change and mounting uncertainty, it's easy to feel unmoored or unsure of how to move forward. This book offers scientific and experiential insights to navigate such times through the interconnected domains of mind, body, and world. Grounded in the latest science, this book explores active inference and the free energy principle-insights revealing how life maintains balance through a continuous dance of sensing, predicting, and adjusting. When seen through this lens, biology becomes a guide for moving through complexity with awareness and efficacy. Developed in conversation with one of today's most cited scientists, Karl Friston (the originator and often called the "grandfather" of these principles) these ideas are translated into everyday language. They are brought to life through relatable stories and illustrations, making cutting-edge research both accessible and deeply practical. Each short chapter offers insights and tools to help recognize patterns, respond with greater clarity, and reconnect with what matters most. The result is a book that is both intellectually stimulating and personally transformative. Approachable, engaging, and rooted in science, this book will leave readers with a renewed sense of possibility and a practical foundation for moving through life's complexities with greater ease.

About the Author :
Anna Pereira, PhD MS, is a research scientist exploring fundamental questions about the human experience and what it means to live a fulfilling life. Her work bridges the space between what science can explain and the opaque layers of being human. She earned her doctorate at the University of California, Berkeley, and was a researcher at the MIT Media Lab. She and her husband live in Lausanne, Switzerland. Karl John Friston FRS FMedSci FRSB is a British neuroscientist and theoretician at University College London. He is an authority on brain imaging and theoretical neuroscience, especially the use of physics-inspired statistical methods to model neuroimaging data and other random dynamical systems. Friston is a key architect of the free energy principle and active inference. In imaging neuroscience he is best known for statistical parametric mapping and dynamic causal modelling. Friston is one of the most highly cited living scientists and in 2016 was ranked No. 1 by Semantic Scholar in the list of top 10 most influential neuroscientists.
