In this episode, Shirley explores the neuroscience, rather than fiction, behind the Pollyanna character, and how to work with your brain's natural ability to reorganize itself by forming new neural connections (neuroplasticity), so you can increase happiness, reduce anxiety and set yourself on the path to fulfillment.
