Summary

Have you ever wondered what your brain chooses to pay attention to and why? In today’s episode, JJ interviews Double Board Certified Psychiatrist, Founder of Amen Clinics, and 12x New York Times best-selling author, Dr. Daniel Amen, about the inner psychological dragons we all have. And that unless you recognize and deal with these dragons, they can steal your happiness, spoil your relationships, and sabotage your health. In Dr. Amen’s new book, Your Brain Is Always Listening; he equips you with powerful weapons to battle the inner dragons that are breathing fire on your brain, driving unhealthy behaviors, and robbing you of joy and contentment. And in today’s episode, he breaks down the origin story of the dragons, what triggers them, and how to tame them. Plus, you’ll learn which dragon is driving the epidemic of teen suicide and what to do about it, especially in the wake of the recent pandemic. Dr. Amen gives us not just hope but specific strategies to turn things around so you can stop feeling sad, mad, nervous, or out of control and start being happier, calmer, and more in control of your own destiny.
