  • Summary

  • To improve our happiness we need to quiet the incessant internal chatter of self-criticism, self-sabotage, self-blame, self-pity, self-aggrandizement, and the other forms of neurotic self-absorption that plague us. To flourish we need to quiet our "monkey mind."

    There is good evidence that these neurotic manifestations of "Self" arise from a specific region of the brain called The Default Mode Network (DMN). In this episode I discuss how we might quiet our monkey minds by inhibiting or deactivating the DMN. I also suggest that there are times when the DMN can be quite helpful so we also need to know when to activate it or to simply get our of its way.
