The Dr. Lee Warren Podcast Tricking Your Brain, or Changing Your Mind?
Training Your Brain to Look for the Bright Side Takes Work
But it's the secret to becoming healthier, feeling better, and being happier. People who learn to look at every situation and look for some hope or possibility have incredible resilience, better neurochemistry, and are more effective and successful in every measurable way.
Here's a talk about why it matters, and how you can get there.
Today, a new introduction to Positivity Bias is a Superpower (S8E54) for Throwback Thursday, as a setup to this week's Self-Brain Surgery Saturday, which is a deep dive in to the difference between tricking our brains into pretending we're happier and actually changing our minds. This Throwback episode lays the ground for an awesome new self-brain surgery procedure we'll learn together in two days!
Scripture: Philippians 4:6-8
Book mentioned: You, Happier by Daniel Amen
