We can’t have a healthy, high-functioning mind without a healthy, high-functioning brain. Yet, in a world where many people feel unhappy or downright depressed, most of us aren’t prioritizing time each day to upgrade our brains and be intentional about our mindset. I’m here to tell you that if you want to feel happier and more empowered, it’s time to start. 


Today on The Doctor’s Farmacy, I talk to my good friend and colleague Dr. Daniel Amen all about the scientifically proven ways he’s discovered to increase happiness.


Dr. Daniel Amen is a physician, double board-certified psychiatrist, twelve-time New York Times bestselling author, and founder and CEO of Amen Clinics, with 10 US locations. Dr. Amen is the author of many books including the mega-bestseller Change Your Brain, Change Your Life, as well as The End of Mental Illness, Memory Rescue, Healing ADD, and Your Brain Is Always Listening. His new book, You, Happier: The 7 Neuroscience Secrets of Feeling Good Based on Your Brain Type, comes out this month.
