Dr. Amen is an absolute joy to speak with and this conversation is all about how to become a happier version of you through optimizing the physical function of your brain. Dr. Daniel Amen is a leading psychiatrist who says Americans haven't been this unhappy in 50 years, but there's hope. He joins Victoria to share what he's learned from hundreds of thousands of brain scans, including the neuroscience secrets that can make you happier, how your brain type can influence your happiness, and what practical steps we can take to build happier lives. He also makes the case that happiness is a moral obligation, and being happy can lead us to a better relationship with the people around us as well as with ourselves. Ultimately, we can’t have healthy, high-functioning minds without healthy, high-functioning brains. Yet, in a world where many people feel unhappy or downright depressed, most of us aren’t prioritizing time each day to upgrade our brains and be intentional about our mindset. This episode will help guide you in the right direction. \r\n\r\nDr. Amen's new book, \"You, Happier,\" is available March 22, 2022.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/1jmaJnlnguHjhx2xWsw-ZU6qZUdPtjFcuTdi1a1MP7o/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzE4OTMzLzE2MjEy/ODU4MDYtYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
