Part One of Hanson delves into the why of hardwiring happiness. The stories and narratives in the first three chapters of this book send you on a journey of reflection that supports the discussion this week about your sources of happiness and unhappiness. These chapters include an overview of neuroscience and how the brain functions, which may give you insights into why fear, anger, and negativity sometimes appear unexpectedly, and derail happiness.
