Loretta Graziano Breuningová skúma, ako funguje náš „vnútorný cicavec“ a ako môžeme lepšie využiť jeho potenciál. Ako profesorka a matka zistila, že šťastie nie je prirodzený stav, ale naučená zručnosť, zatiaľ čo nespokojnosť slúži nášmu prežitiu. Svoje zistenia o sociálnom správaní cicavcov, vrátane ľudí, zdieľa prostredníctvom kníh a svojej práce v zoo, kde vyvracia chorobu ako jedinú príčinu mozgových dysfunkcií. Jej cieľom je pomôcť ľuďom objaviť silu ovládať svoje cicavčie „operačné systémy“.
