You’re not broken; you’re just a little out of spec.
Somewhere between the cave and the couch, we forgot how to live like humans.
Modern life has turned us into domesticated zoo animals: overfed and undermoved, overscrolling and underthinking, and trapped in our custom cages. Caveman Therapy is an evolutionary reboot for the modern brain, a field guide to staying normal in a world that keeps making us abnormal.
This isn’t traditional self-help.
Part memoir, part manifesto, and part evolutionary pep talk, this book shows that depression isn’t a moral failure; it’s chemistry out of harmony. Fred Thinkstone Jr. breaks down how to get back in spec using twenty simple, normal, human things that have quietly kept our species sane for millennia: sleep, learning, usefulness, and a few good laughs.
But fair warning: this isn’t just a list of things to do. It’s also a crash course in the evolutionary science that got us here, from cosmology to chemistry, explained in plain, occasionally ridiculous “explain it to me like I’m a Neanderthal” style English.
Forget lying on the couch while your Freud takes notes. This is therapy you can do standing up.
A practical, witty, evolutionary-first approach to mental health for anyone tired of being told to “just be happy.”
“Smart, funny, and refreshingly practical, this book shows how to rehuman one normal thing at a time.”
