Wouldn’t it be awesome if we could hack into our own brains and rewire them to be happier?
Science has shown we actually can thanks to a phenomenon called experience-dependent neuroplasticity. "It’s a fancy term to say the brain learns from our experiences," says Rick Hanson, neuropsychologist and author of the book Hardwiring Happiness. "As we understand better and better how this brain works, it gives us more power to change our mind for the better."
Hanson assures he isn't just talking new-age mumbo jumbo. "This is not just 'smell the roses,'" he says. "I am talking about positive neuroplasticity. I am talking about learning. … The brain is changing based on what flows through it."

The bad news: Our brains are wired to be negative. The good news: Happiness doesn't mean you have to be naive, just think realistically.
Reprograming the mind is extremely difficult for many to do but neccessary for success. Winning the war in our own minds is what will determine not only how far we wil get in life but also in our own personal development.
