What would it take to be happy most of the time, to feel satisfied and calm in each moment? Author and neuropsychologist Rick Hanson shows us how in his new book Hardwiring Happiness, The New Brain Science of Contentment, Calm and Confidence. Rick will share four steps to take in the good into our brains: first, have a positive experience, next, extend it and then, absorb it. These steps when practiced, activate a useful mental state and then install it in the brain. The fourth step is being able to hold the positive and the negative feeling and then replace the negative one with the positive, such as feeling glad and grateful rather than sad; connected rather than separated, loved rather than mistreated and so on. Dr. Hanson inspires us to build positive resources inside  us, that over time will sensitize our brains to the good…..for good!
