Summary

If you’ve ever wondered why it seems so hard to be positive despite mantras, afffirmations and meditations, then do we have the Science of Positivity Show for you!

Today I’ll be talking with Loretta Breuning, PhD, Professor Emerita of Management at California State University Easy Bay, and author of several fantastic books on Happiness including Habits of a Happy Brain and her latest, the Science of Positivity.

That plus we’ll talk about elephants and watering holes, monkeys and spinach, birthday cakes for pacaderms, what wildlife documentaries and love songs have in common, why mandrills have it better than baboons, what in the world’s the dogpoop rule, and what you need to do when another monkey’s eyeing your banana.
