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. As you read this book, you will:
- Learn nine secular practices that exist in every wisdom tradition and are backed by scientific evidence from the fields of psychology and neuroscience.
- Learn hundreds of quick tips and techniques that can help you integrate Hardwired for Happiness practices in every part of your life to unlock your best self, regardless of how busy you are—or how busy you think you are.
- Learn a range of journaling, meditation, and group coaching exercises to choose the best method that works for you to shift from Knowing - Doing - Being.
- Learn and draw inspiration from the stories of others like you, who have applied them to transform their lives.
Begin your own Hardwired for Happiness transformation today by learning to master your inner world, and live with more joy, well-being, meaning, and love.

Store description
In 2002, World of Books Group was founded on an ethos to do good, protect the planet and support charities by enabling more goods to be reused. Since then, we've grown into to a global company pioneering the circular economy. Today, we drive the circular economy through three re-commerce brands: - Wob: Through Wob, we sell. We provide affordable, preloved books and media to customers all over the world. A book leaves our collection of over seven million titles and begins a new chapter every two seconds, enabling more goods to be reused. - Ziffit: Through Ziffit, we buy. We give people around the world the opportunity to contribute to the circular economy, earn money and protect the planet, by trading their unwanted books and media. - Shopiago: Through Shopiago, we help others. By sharing the technology that has grown World of Books Group into the business it is today, we’re helping charities increase revenue and reduce waste through re-commerce.…
