The Self-Brain Surgery™ Podcast with Dr. Lee Warren

The Neuroscience of Happiness (Wildcard Wednesday Classic)


Listen Later

It's Wildcard Wednesday!

(Still on sabbatical, so here's a classic episode for you, originally a Self-Brain Surgery Saturday operation!)

Every week, we'll learn a specific neuroscience operation you can master to change your mind and change your life. 

Today, we learn the basics, and we start with Self-brain surgery tip #19:

“There is almost nothing outside you that will help in any kind of lasting way, unless you are waiting for a donor organ.” - Anne Lamott in her book Almost Everything

Real help comes from within, from the Spirit inside us! See John 14:26-27

Learning how your brain works helps you see how to manage it in a healthier way. 

Here's five self-brain surgery techniques to help you change your mind and change your life.
