Dr. Breuning is Professor Emerita of Management at California State University-East Bay, and a docent at the Oakland Zoo, where she gives tours on mammalian social behavior.Why do the field notes of a primatologist sound like the lyrics of a country western song? Why does a biology textbook sound like a soap opera script? Our core brain structures the same other mammals. Dr. Breuning's books explain the brain built by natural selection, so you know how to replace unwanted habits with new ones. Free resources for each book are available at InnerMammalInstitute.org.Prof.

Breuning retired from 25 years of teaching to give the books in her head a chance to get out. Before teaching, she spent a year in Africa as a United Nations Volunteer, and has lectured worldwide on resisting corruption pressures.
