Self-directed neuroplasticity and conscious evolution are within reach, finally.
I am so happy that our ability to tame the amygdala (and the HPA axis) results in a cascade of positive behavioral and emotional effects. That is the hedonic side. Taming the HPA axis results in physiological benefits to immune and cardiovascular functioning. That is the eudaimonic side. The meaning and purpose that motivates participation in positive training programs is twofold. Participating in positive training programs benefits the individual and it benefits society as well. Practicing positive skills beneftis hedonic and eudaimonic outcomes.
Blessings to all, keep up the good work.
