Hardwiring Happiness

Product Description

Recent scientific breakthroughs have revealed that what we think & feel changes the brain. Dr Rick Hanson's Hardwiring Happiness is the first book to show how to transform the simple positive experiences of daily life into neural structures that promote lasting health, contentment, love & inner peace. To keep our ancestors alive, our brain evolved a 'negativity bias', which lets positive experiences flow through it like water through a sieve. Yet positive experiences are the building blocks needed for health, happiness & fulfilling relationships. Drawing on neuroscience & the contemplative traditions, Hardwiring Happiness shows how to overcome that negativity bias & get those good experiences into the brain where it can use them, providing the tools we need to heal old wounds, develop our inner resources &, ultimately, transform our lives.
