I'm the author of Meet Your Happy Chemicals and I, Mammal, and a Docent at the Oakland Zoo. I study the mammalian brain, which controls the neurochemicals we experience as happiness and unhappiness. When you know why animals produce these brain chemicals, your neurochemical ups and downs suddenly make sense. It's not easy being mammal!

Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Loretta Breuning
In nature, there is no free happy chemical. To get more, you have to do more.
There is no free love in nature. Sex has a preliminary qualifying event in every species.
People are respecting you behind your back so you may as well focus on that.
No one can trigger your happy chemicals for you, and you can't trigger them for someone else.
Your cortex and your limbic system are not on speaking terms. When you talk to yourself, it's all in your cortex.
It's not easy being a mammal.
