Creating Optimism

Research indicates that human beings are wired for happiness. So why are so many of us so unhappy?

In this powerful guide to self-healing psychologists Bob Murray, Ph.D., and Alicia Fortinberry, Ph.D., draw upon recent studies in neurobiology and genetics to reveal how the stresses of modern life overwhelm our natural healing mechanisms and foster depression and anxiety by separating us from what truly makes us human.

• Identify your dysfunctional thinking and behaviors
• Use mind-body healing techniques to restructure neural pathways in your brain and remove obstacles to your happiness
• Build and maintain healthy relationships
• Bind families, friends, and coworkers together in healthy interconnectedness
• See past the false values engendered by modern society and find lasting fulfillment in what really matters
• Feel better about yourself and achieve more in your personal and professional life
