Hardwired for Happiness: How to Unlock Your Best Self

About this book

Rewire your brain for happiness! We live in a world of abundance and prosperity, yet so many of us trudge through life feeling heavy, empty, stressed, and alone. The answer to this paradox can be found in the evolutionary biology of our brains. Over millions of years, our brains have evolved to keep our bodies safe and secure and hardwired for fear. In today's highly volatile, uncertain times, while there are little to no physical threats, the fight-or-flight responses kick in when we face psychological threats to our egos and identities. So, in the face of accelerating change, many people find themselves chronically anxious, triggered by even the smallest stressors.
