How to Build a Happier Brain: 6 Things You Can Do Starting Now
Why most people’s brains sabotage their happiness and how to fix yours.
It is possible to be happy for no reason.
And make happiness your baseline.
It doesn’t have to be something you put off for then, later, or a day that never comes.

Once you realize this, you can change the way you feel each day and on a moment-to-moment basis.

And it’s easier to do than you think when you know how.
These are 6 proven ways to ‘fire and wire’ the networks responsible for happiness and build a happier brain.
