How Creating A Healthy Brain Creates A Happy Mind with Dr. Daniel Amen

This episode is brought to you by Thrive Market, Cozy Earth, and
InsideTracker. We can’t have a healthy, high-functioning mind
without a healthy, high-functioning brain. Yet, in a world where
many people feel unhappy or downright depressed, most of us aren’t
prioritizing time each day to upgrade our brains and be intentional
about our mindset. I’m here to tell you that if you want to feel
happier and more empowered, it’s time to start.  Today on The
Doctor’s Farmacy, I talk to my good friend and colleague Dr. Daniel
Amen all about the scientifically proven ways he’s discovered to
increase happiness. Dr. Daniel Amen is a physician, double
board-certified psychiatrist, twelve-time New York Times
bestselling author, and founder and CEO of Amen Clinics, with 10 US
