    Sep 9 2024

    Leading a more positive life starts with these four chemicals: dopamine, endorphin, serotonin, and oxytocin.


    In today's episode, learn the pathways behind our reactions to positive and negative situations, and how to influence them.


    By listening to the end of today's episode, here's what you'll learn:

    - Why we have mood swings and how to find consistent happiness

    - Why do we do 'bad' things to make us happy

    - Habits to help rewire our brains to create healthier ones

    - The 45-day plan to build new neural pathways to having a happier brain

    - The link between a happy brain and achieving your goals

    - The importance of self-awareness and self-acceptance

    Loretta Graziano Breuning, PhD, is the author of Habits of a Happy Brain: Retrain Your Brain to Boost Your Serotonin, Dopamine, Oxytocin and Endorphin Levels. She founded the Inner Mammal Institute to help people build new neural pathways to turn on their happy chemicals in new ways. (www.InnerMammalInstitute.org)
    As a Professor of Management at California State University and a mom, Loretta was not convinced by prevailing theories of human motivation. While researching alternatives, she uncovered the brain chemistry we share with animals. She learned that each happy chemical evolved to motivate a specific survival behaviour, not to make you feel good all the time for no reason. Loretta's work has helped thousands of people "make peace with the animal inside." And she still marvels every day at the overlap between a wildlife documentary and the lyrics to a love song.
