In this podcast, Jörg Mangold introduces us to our primal dinosaur brain, the oldest part of our mind that evolved to protect us from threats in ancient times, but still kicks off nowadays, whenever we encounter stress. That precious aspect of our brain is wired with a negativity bias, making us naturally inclined to remember negative experiences more than positive ones. But there is good news: we do have the power to reshape our brains. It is called "positive neuroplasticity", and it involves focusing on all the positive aspects of our life. And the best part? It's a very enjoyable process! Join us as we delve into the fascinating world of positive neuroplasticity and discover the incredible potential within ourselves to embrace positivity and thrive.
