Hey! 

Happy Holidays to all of you who are celebrating today! 🎅

My daughter asked for a journal, a perfume set and some cash for Christmas this year.

Phew! None of them are screen-related!

So, of course she got what she asked for. 🙂

Giving our kids what they want, instead of what we want, is a pretty good gift. But, it isn't the best gift we can give them.

What is, then?

Cally Worden, a mom from our community writes for us about it today. Check it out -

Roots and Wings: How to Give Your Kids The Best Gift Ever

Hardwiring Happiness Masterclass

Our featured masterclass this week is the Hardwiring Happiness Masterclass with Dr. Rick Hanson based on the book Hardwiring Happiness: The New Brain Science of Contentment, Calm, and Confidence

Dr. Hanson is a psychologist, Senior Fellow of the Greater Good Science Center at UC Berkeley, and New York Times best-selling author whose books have been translated in 29 languages.

In this packed masterclass we look at how we can overcome the negativity bias of the brain by intentionally taking in positive experiences no matter how small or big they are. And we also look at the idea of hardwiring happiness into our brains, both from the perspective of science (ie, why it works) and practice (ie, how to do it).
