Bad experiences stick to us, while positive ones tend to slide off. This is what I've said scientists call the brains evolved negativity bias. It's part of the reason that so many of us feel like every day is a kind of uphill battle. In order to change your brain from the inside out, it helps to know a little bit about it.
Welcome to Being Well with Dr. Rick Hanson! On this podcast we’ll learn how to increase our everyday happiness, build inner strengths, and get the most out of life.
On our first episode, Dr. Hanson gives an overview of some of the central questions this podcast will try to answer: Why does your brain have what scientists call a “negativity bias”? What does this mean? And what are some of the things we can do to build a happier, healthier brain?
