To Change Your Life, You Need to Change Your Brain
Use science-backed methods to beat the brain’s negativity bias and change the way you think, for good.
Because our brains are like Velcro for the bad and Teflon for the good, bad experiences such as frustration, worry, and stress tend to “stick” to us more, getting quickly wired into our nervous system.
To beat this negativity bias, Dr. Hanson will teach you powerful methods — using the science of positive neuroplasticity — for turning good experiences like mindfulness, self-compassion, and confidence into lasting inner strengths that stick with us.
