Default Mode Monday: Unselfing for Increased Happiness

November 27, 2023 · 44:33

It's Mind-Change Monday!

And today is also DEFAULT MODE MONDAY!

Your brain uses the same amount of energy at rest as it does when you're actively thinking about or engaged in a task. We're going to look at the task-positive network and the default mode network today, and learn how to improve our brain's baseline behavior so we can become healthier, feel better, and be happier.

Plus: an incredible email from a listener, a new book from Susie Larson, and more!

Scriptures: 2 Timothy 1:6-8, Acts 17:26-28, Matthew 5:44-46

Books Mentioned: Bliss Brain: The Neuroscience of Remodeling Your Brain for Resilience, Creativity, and Joy by Dawson Church, Waking Up to the Goodness of God: 40 Days Toward Healing and Wholeness by Susie Larson, Am I Just My Brain? by Sharon Dirckx, Switch On Your Brain by Caroline Leaf
