[Part 1] Understanding How Your Brain Type: Why You Feel Good… and Why You Don’t

Loading player...
What if happiness wasn’t something abstract - but something rooted in your biology?

In this episode with Matt Furlonger, we explore the neuroscience behind how we think, feel and behave - and how it directly impacts our ability to feel happy.

We unpack:
- How brain chemistry influences mood and motivation
- Why some people feel energised by certain routines… and others don’t
- The link between your brain and your ability to stay consistent
- Why willpower alone is often not enough
- How to start understanding your own neurological wiring

This conversation begins to shift the narrative from “try harder” to “understand yourself better.”
If you’ve ever felt like something just isn’t clicking, this episode will explain why.

Happiness isn’t random. It’s biological. And joy is the new performance metric.
