This book highlights the brain's natural "negativity bias," which prioritizes threats for survival, often leading to anxiety and a reduced capacity for positive experiences. Dr. Hanson introduces the revolutionary HEAL method (Have a positive experience, Enrich it, Absorb it, Link positive and negative material) as a practical way to counteract this bias.

By deliberately noticing, prolonging, and internalizing positive experiences, individuals can retrain their brains to foster a responsive ("green") mode over a reactive ("red") mode, ultimately improving their safety, satisfaction, and connection to others. This process aims to build lasting neural structures for happiness and resilience, transforming fleeting positive states into enduring personal resources. This is a must-listen for anyone seeking to cultivate inner peace and build a more resilient mind.
