Beyond Cynical: Transcend Your Mammalian Negativity

Cynicism is popular because it stimulates the brain chemicals that make you feel good. It triggers dopamine by making the world feel predictable. It triggers serotonin by raising you above “the jerks.” It triggers oxytocin by telling you who to trust. Cynicism lures your inner mammal, but you can transcend it. This book shows how to build a new thought habit based on Personal Agency and Realistic Expectations. You can PARE your cynicism in six weeks with only three minutes a day. Once you build new pathways for the electricity in your brain, you will literally forget to be cynical. A chorus of negativity may surround you, but you will see a world full of opportunities instead of a world of flaws.
