Hardwiring Happiness

Recent scientific breakthroughs have revealed that what we think and feel changes the brain. Dr Rick HansonsHardwiring Happinessis the first book to show how to transform the simple positive experiences of daily life into neural structures that promote lasting health, contentment, love and 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 and fulfilling relationships. Drawing on neuroscience and the contemplative traditions,Hardwiring Happinessshows how to overcome that negativity bias and get those good experiencesintothe brain where it can use them, providing the tools we need to heal old wounds, develop our inner resources and, ultimately, transform our lives.
