We live in a world of abundance and prosperity. Technology has brought us closer and keeps us more connected than ever before. Medical advances protect and heal us. And yet, so many of us trudge through life feeling heavy, empty, stressed, and alone.The answer to this paradox can be found in the evolutionary biology of our brains, which are hardwired for fear. Over millions of years, our brains have evolved to keep our bodies safe and secure, continuously scanning the environment for threats. When our brains sense threat, they release adrenaline and cortisol to prepare our bodies for fight or flight. These prediction-making capabilities of our brains are what allowed us to climb to the top of the food chain, despite not being the largest or strongest in the animal kingdom.Unfortunately, our brains are maladapted to today’s highly volatile, uncertain times. While there are little to no physical threats of the carnivorous kind, we face psychological threats to our egos and identities—and this, multiple times a day. The fight or flight responses that work so well to ensure our survival against physical threats don’t serve us so well against these modern psychological threats. And so, in the face of accelerating change, many people find themselves chronically anxious, triggered by even the smallest stressors.Hardwired for Happiness distills cutting-edge research from the fields of psychology, neuroscience, and ancient wisdom traditions into nine proven practices that can rewire your brain to seek happiness instead of fear.
