With Rick Hanson
Lasting inner strength and peace comes mainly from internalizing positive experiences - but our brain is poor at doing this due to its evolved "negativity bias,” making it like Velcro for the bad but Teflon for the good. Learn to beat this bias by tapping the hidden power in everyday positive experiences, hardwiring lasting contentment, love, and peace.
