About this listen

Discover how to rewire the neurons in your brain and turn negative thoughts into positive actions.

Did you know that the human mind is hardwired for negativity?

When we think of evolution, we believe that nature is making us better, adding traits to our gene pool that will ease our survival and make our lives more practical.

However, evolution didn't concern itself with our mental wellbeing nor our happiness.

In fact, our brain is a 2-million-year-old piece of hardware that is programmed to deal with a world where we face imminent physical threats, like being devoured by a pack of wolves or chased after by a tiger.

So no, we didn't evolve to be happier. If anything, we developed to be constantly worried, anxious, and always on the lookout for problems.

Researchers estimate that we have about 50,000 to 70,000 thoughts a day.

It comes as no surprise that 80 percent of those thoughts are negative.

The good news is that nothing is truly set in stone, for evolution bestowed upon us another great faculty—the ability to think and do meaningful actions based on thought and not instinct.

That's humanity's secret weapon to individual evolution.

What we naturally lack in positivity, we can make up for with a little bit of effort, the right understanding of how we function, and the knowledge of what gives meaning to our lives.

We now know that through willpower alone, we can literally rewire our brain to think differently. After all, we've come a long way since we've had to fend for our lives in the wild.

If we're not born with the ability to intuitively think positive thoughts, we can at least teach ourselves how to do it, reaping all the benefits it can have on our personal development, wellbeing, and ultimately, our right to be happy.

In Understanding the Human Mind, you will discover:

  • The 5 scientifically proven secret ingredients for positive thinking that will give you the ability to take control of your mental health and wellbeing
  • How to tame the beasts of negative emotions and transform them into positive actions, giving you a healthier outlook on life
  • Why you need to watch out for the culturally-induced pessimism bias, and how you can turn it into realistic optimism
  • The endless potential that gratitude has in building the strength of character by paving the way to self-compassion and self-understanding
  • How simple laughter can rewire the neurons in your brain, making them respond better to both adverse events and favorable circumstances
  • The hidden connection between finding your purpose and positive thinking that will open endless doors for you, making you in sync with life and what it has to offer
  • And much more.

Even though our genetics work against us when it comes to positive thinking, you will soon realize the endless potential the mind has for transformation and change once you knock on the right mental doors.

It may take some time to get where you want to be, but all it takes is one small step in the right direction. From there on, you will slowly start to unravel the means to true happiness and meaningfulness.

And remember, the journey will be just as exciting as the outcome, filled with pleasant surprises worth all the effort you've put into them.
