It's the reason why spending time on Facebook makes us feel sad and lonely. Why expensive name-brand medicines provide better pain relief than the generic stuff, even if they share the same ingredients. And why a hospital room with a good view speeds up recovery from surgery. The truth is, the way we think about ourselves and the world around us dramatically impacts our happiness, health, how fast or slow we age, and even how long we live. In fact, people with a positive mindset about aging live on average 7.5 years longer than those without. That might sound alarming to those of us who struggle to see the bright side, but the good news is we can make surprisingly simple changes or small shifts to how we think, feel, and act that will really pay off. In The Positive Shift: Mastering Mindset to Improve Happiness, Health, and Longevity, Dr. Catherine Sanderson breaks down the science of thought and shows how our mindset—or thought pattern—exerts a substantial influence on our psychological and physical health. Most important, this book demonstrates how, no matter what our natural tendency, with practice we can make minor tweaks in our mindset that will improve the quality—and longevity—of our life. Combining cutting-edge research from the fields of psychology, neuroscience, and medicine, as well as vivid real-world examples of the power of mindset, The Positive Shift gives readers practical and easy strategies for changing maladaptive thought patterns and behaviors so they can live longer, happier lives. These behaviors include: • Appreciating nature, with actions as simple as eating lunch outside • Giving to others, like volunteering • Spending money on experiences, not possessions Living your best life is truly mind over matter. Believe in yourself and rethink your way to a happier reality.

"Unlock your inner resilience and strength by harnessing the power of positivity to transform your life, relationships, health, and overall well-being. Happiness is every human being's birthright, but many of us fail to find it. Instead, we drift aimlessly through life on a boat of uncertainty, just hoping we'll bump into it. Most people know they want something better out of life. Being rich and famous is no longer the goal these days because it's clear this doesn't guarantee lasting happiness. But there is a growing body of evidence that suggests that having a positive mindset is the key to true happiness. What you want is already in you--you just don't have the tools to access it. This practical guide will provide you with everything you need to transform your thinking and become a positivity powerhouse so you can live the life of fulfillment, purpose, and joy you deserve."--back cover.

These pivotal times call for expanding public awareness so we can collectively harness the tremendous potential of chronobiology while advocating for innovative policies that will accelerate progress. It is my hope therefore that through this book, you gain inspiring new insight into your inner rhythms and are equipped with evidence-based strategies to optimize your sleep, nutrition, activity, and environment for 24-hour and lifelong well-being.
