BUILD STABLE WELL-BEING IN A TOPSY-TURVY WORLD

The brain is like Velcro for bad experiences but Teflon for good ones - which wears down health, fuels conflicts with others, and piles up feelings of frustration, hurt, and disappointment.

To beat this "negativity bias," you'll learn to use positive neuroplasticity, in daily life, with effective, quick, and authentic ways to build lasting real happiness into your own nervous system.
