The Inner Mammal Institute shows how our happy brain chemicals work in animals, so you know how they work inside you. It’s not easy to manage the emotional brain we've inherited from earlier mammals. It’s a skill you must build like any other skill. The Inner Mammal Institute shows you how, step by step.

Our dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin, and endorphin are inherited from earlier mammals. We control them with the limbic brain we’ve inherited from animals. The verbal human part of the brain doesn’t understand what makes the animal part feel good, and that’s why we do things to feel good that we later regret. When you understand the job that each happy chemical evolved to do, you can find healthy ways to spark them.

Dr. Breuning’s new book, Why You’re Unhappy: Biology vs Politics, shows why our brain goes negative so easily. We're trained to see happiness as the natural state and unhappiness as a disorder, but this is not true. Our happy chemicals are not designed to be on all that time. Everyone has dips. Expecting constant happiness may be good politics, but it's bad biology. Read Chapter 1 for free at: https://innermammalinstitute.org/why

Our happy chemicals evolved to reward survival behavior, not to make you feel good all the time. Your brain chemicals are like paving on your neural pathways, which wires you to repeat behaviors that spark good feelings and avoid behaviors that spark bad feelings. That’s why we keep repeating or avoiding things without quite knowing why. To change these patterns, you have to blaze a new trail through your jungle of neurons.

It’s hard because it takes so much repetition. The Inner Mammal Institute helps you shows you how to design and build the new neural pathway that’s right for you, and motivate yourself to do the repetitions.

Rewiring your brain is like learning a foreign language: we all know it’s possible, but most people don’t do it. You can be someone who does! You can build new paths to your happy chemicals so you flow there more easily.
