So the human brain is a phenomenal problem solving instrument , but it's also just as much of a troublemaker , right ? So the human brain is designed to keep us alive , not necessarily to keep us happy . Although if we stay alive , the chance of being happy , at least in these bodies are , is a lot better , right ?
Right ? So happiness is sort of this cheat code or master key to being more successful in all areas of your life . Well , why do you think people seem to struggle , at least in my experience seem to struggle so much with being ok with being more happy .
So , thank you so much for that . Um Yeah , so I work really as a happiness coach , I'm a positive psychology expert , positive psychology is the science of happiness . It really developed out of Martin Seligmann's work at the University of Pennsylvania .
Um and it comes through you . So lots of good reasons out there in the world to feel happy and lots of things that people can encourage you to be happy . But at the end of the day only you can make yourself happy and it's a great name for a book and so good .
I think part of it is evolutionary , right ? So the human brain is a phenomenal problem solving instrument , but it's also just as much of a troublemaker , right ? So the human brain is designed to keep us alive , not necessarily to keep us happy .
