MJSBioLynx WELL BEING

How Science Reveals That “Well-Being” Is a Skill - By Stephany Tlalka

"At the recent Well-Being at Work conference, neuroscientist Richard Davidson talked about four components of well-being that are supported by neuroscience. Mounting research suggests mental training in these four areas can make a difference in well-being. Additionally, the neural circuits involved in these areas exhibit plasticity—they can change in enduring ways for the better. " Read more at http://www.mindful.org/science-reveals-well-skill/
