What we think and feel changes the brain. In Hardwiring Happiness, neuropsychologist and leading author Dr Rick Hanson shows how to turn our everyday experiences into the neural pathways we need for our well-being.

Thousands of years ago, the struggle to survive meant our ancestors learned primarily from their negative experiences. Yet today, the ability to focus on the positive is essential for our health, happiness and relationships. Combining neuroscience with contemplative techniques, Dr Hanson explains how to weave life's good experiences into the brain and make enduring use of them.

Revolutionary yet profoundly practical, Hardwiring Happiness equips us to heal old wounds, increase our motivation, handle stress, improve our ability to learn and, ultimately, transform our lives - putting us in charge of our brains, rather than at the mercy of our thinking.
