Hardwiring Happiness
The New Brain Science of Contentment, Calm, and Confidence
Book • 1774
In 'Hardwiring Happiness,' Dr. Rick Hanson explains how the brain's ancient survival mechanism makes it more adept at learning from negative experiences than positive ones.
He introduces a simple method using everyday experiences to build new neural structures filled with happiness, love, confidence, and peace.
Dr. Hanson's four-step HEAL method (Have, Enrich, Absorb, Link) helps readers to counterbalance the brain's negativity bias, making contentment and resilience the new normal.
This approach involves focusing on positive experiences, absorbing their good feelings, and linking them to other positive experiences to override negative ones, thereby transforming the brain into a refuge of calm and happiness.
