This episode is the first of a two-part focus on a specific brain network known as the Default Mode Network (DMN). 

In part one I discuss how the DMN undermines our happiness and our sense of well-being. I make the case that to improve our happiness, we need to recognize when the DMN has taken over our mind and then learn to replace it with a more mindful state-of-mind.

In part two I discuss specific techniques for managing your DMN, activating it when it can be helpful and deactivating it when it makes you crazy.
