To increase our healthspan as we age  we need our brains to be as healthy as possible.  MINDRAMP has developed the Behavioral Roots of Brain Health to help identify risky behaviors that should be avoided and protective behaviors that should be adopted. 

To flourish, we need more than a healthy brain. We also need a nimble and well-trained mind that can adopt beneficial mindsets and inhibit mindsets that cause us to suffer. The FLOURISH AS YOU AGE series focuses on the mental management side of the equation.

So, how do we begin to identify beneficial mindsets? As I explain in this episode, the hemisphere hypothesis, as articulated by scholar Iain McGilchrist ,offers a very useful framework for differentiating between helpful and harmful states of mind.
