520    "... tells you why is it easier to ruminate over hurt 
       feelings than it is to bask in the warmth of being 
       appreciated? Your brain was wired this way when it evolved,
       primed to learn quickly from bad experiences, but not so 
       much from the good ones. It's an ancient survival 
       mechanism that turned the brain into Velcro for the 
       negative, but Teflon for the positive. Life isn't easy, 
       and having a brain wired to take in the bad and ignore the
       good makes us worried, irritated and stressed, instead of 
       confident, secure and happy. Every day is filled with 
       opportunities to build these strengths inside, but the 
       brain is designed to ignore and waste them. This makes you
       come down harder on yourself than you do other people, 
       feel inadequate even though you get a hundred things done,
       and lonely even when support is all around. Dr. Rick 
       Hanson, an acclaimed neuropsychologist and internationally
       bestselling author, shows us what we can do to override 
       the brain's default programming. Hardwiring Happiness lays
       out a simple method that uses the hidden power of everyday
       experiences to build new neural structures that stick to 
       happiness, love, confidence, and peace. Dr. Hanson's four 
       steps build a brain strong enough to withstand its ancient
       negativity bias, allowing contentment and a powerful sense
       of well-being to become the new normal. In mere minutes 
       each day, we can transform our brains into oases of calm 
       and happiness. We can hardwire in happiness"--|cFrom
