Have you ever noticed that trying to calm down before a high-stakes event often just produces more agitation? That trying to change troublesome habits can seem difficult or im- possible? Or that real fulfillment and well-being can be elusive, despite living a successful life? A surprising number of such difficulties stem from an inherited propensity of the human brain—our automatic, hardwired tendency to seek pleasure and to anticipate and avoid pain. Modern science demon- strates that this mental hard wiring, traceable to the survival needs of our earliest ancestors, is at the root of many of the and behavioral problems that we face today. The cost is $10.00 for the course and a resource guide. Space is limited to ONLY 30 people for this class. Please remember you are not confirmed in the class until your payment is received.
