Are we about to go the way of the dinosaurs?

Find out why Dr. Daniel Amin says that some human beings are on track to become extinct,

and the role brain health plays in your happiness on this episode of Live Happy Now.

The ancient Greeks defined happiness as the joy you feel moving towards your potential.

To think about positive psychology, it's a science, and it's actually younger than the

internet, believe it or not.

The reality is that social connection is in the research, the greatest predictor we have

of long-term happiness.

You have some factors in your control.

They can promote the health and resilience and growth of your absolutely most important asset,

which is your brain.

And so it all comes down to understanding ourselves.

There's a way for all of us to succeed, but it might take different things.

We're all looking for the same thing, and that's a way to bring a little bit more joy to our day. Join us as we look at the many different paths that lead us to that happy place. This is Live Happy Now. Hello, once again, and greetings. I'm your host, J.R. Houston. Welcome to the Live Happy Now podcast, wherever you are in the world, and however you may be listening, we are thrilled that you are making us a part of your day. We'd also like for you to make a part of your day, Live Happy magazine. It is available on newsstands everywhere. You can get a subscription if you pull the little thing out of the magazine, you know, the thing they have where you can send in, do that to subscribe. Or if you're more of a digital reader, you can also find it in the Apple store or the Google Play Store. It's got all kinds of special features in there. It's like when you buy the DVD or the Blu-ray, the special features, unless you're streaming things online like the podcast. Anyway, get the digital edition or get the print edition. Either way, get Live Happy magazine into your life. We would

much appreciate it. Just as we much appreciate Dr. Daniel Aman, who is our guest today, a psychiatrist,

a brain disorder specialist, and director of the Aeman clinics, which offer medical services to people

who have attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and other disorders. And Paula Phelps, our science editor, sat down with Dr.

Raymond to discuss the things you can do every day to improve your brain health.

I'm so excited that you can join us today because I've been fortunate enough to talk to you

before and I don't think anyone's made me think about my brain as much as you do.

So you've really changed the way that we look at our brains,

and I wonder what made you so interested in this?
