Loretta Graziano Breuningová skúma, ako funguje náš „vnútorný cicavec“ a ako môžeme lepšie využiť jeho potenciál. Ako profesorka a matka zistila, že šťastie nie je prirodzený stav, ale naučená zručnosť, zatiaľ čo nespokojnosť slúži nášmu prežitiu. Svoje zistenia o sociálnom správaní cicavcov, vrátane ľudí, zdieľa prostredníctvom kníh a svojej práce v zoo, kde vyvracia chorobu ako jedinú príčinu mozgových dysfunkcií. Jej cieľom je pomôcť ľuďom objaviť silu ovládať svoje cicavčie „operačné systémy“.
Offers simple activities that help you understand the roles of your "happy chemicals"--serotonin, dopamine, oxytocin, and endorphins. You'll also learn how to build new habits by rerouting the electricity in your brain to flow down a new pathway, making it even easier to trigger these happy chemicals and increase feelings of satisfaction when you need them most.
You have power over your emotions, but it’s limited, so understanding it is essential. This guide explains the chemicals that influence our feelings: dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin, and endorphin. You'll learn how these chemicals are activated in animals and how to manage them using the animal part of your brain. Additionally, it addresses cortisol, the unhappy chemical, and offers methods to rewire your brain for happiness by introducing new inputs. This step-by-step approach, based on the Inner Mammal Institute's research, is jargon-free. Over 14 days, you’ll explore your influence over your brain's happy chemicals. Rather than a checklist, this guide reveals how your brain was wired and how to create new connections. Early experiences shape our wiring, necessitating updates for healthier pathways. Realistic expectations are crucial, as happy chemicals aren't meant to flow constantly. They evolved to reward actions that meet our needs, which can be quirky. Understanding these quirks will help you design achievable steps toward happiness. While you can’t rewire your entire brain in 14 days, you can create one new neural pathway at a time, allowing for smoother transitions to your new habits. Replace unsustainable habits with ones you design yourself, leading to lasting change.
The book explores how our brains are inherently wired to care about social status, leading to stress and anxiety.

The Science of Positivity teaches you how cynical thought habits are formed, and how you can rewire yourself to go beyond them.
