Our mood, nature, style, and behaviour shape how we understand and interact with our family, friends, situations, and the society around us.
A significant part of this comes from our physiology—the biology that underlies how the body works. This includes the physical and chemical processes, hormone activity, and brain functions that influence our level of calmness, civility, patience, and how we engage with others.
These physiological factors contribute to our differences in opinion, our varied reactions, and the diversity of our responses to issues that concern or interest us.
How we respond to any situation often depends on the balance of hormones and the flow of neurological signals in our brains. These signals draw upon our past experiences, helping shape our reactions to what is happening in the present.
