Podcast appearances and mentions of Loretta G Breuning

Welcome back to another episode of Doing Well: The Well-being Science Insights Podcast! This week, host Lu Ngo is joined by Loretta G. Breuning, Ph.D. to discuss team dynamics and its understated—albeit strong—effect on our well-being.  Apart from founding the Inner Mammal Institute and serving as professor emerita of management at California State University, East Bay, Loretta has authored several personal development books, including 'Habits of a Happy Brain: Retrain Your Brain to Boost Your Serotonin, Dopamine, Oxytocin and Endorphin Levels'. Her roles as a teacher at work and a parent at home have motivated her to research human brain chemistry further. In this episode, Loretta breaks down the concept of 'psychological safety' and its significance in promoting team well-being. That aside, she shares some examples of how less-than-desirable team dynamics can negatively impact individuals' mental and emotional well-being. Together, Lu and Loretta discuss various real-life stories that showcase improved well-being by prioritizing genuine teamwork values. Give this episode a listen for more fascinating insights on team building and its impact on our well-being!

How does the fact that we are definitively mammals inform us on our happiness pathways? Our long ancient history as mammals can tell us about how we operate in the world, what makes us happy, the duration of happiness vs other states, and how we can help rewire our brain for a happier existence!Loretta G.

She is the author of many personal development books, including Habits of a Happy Brain: Retrain Your Brain to Boost Your Serotonin, Dopamine, Oxytocin and Endorphin Levels. As a teacher and a parent, she was not convinced by prevailing theories of human motivation. Then she learned about the brain chemistry we share with earlier mammals and everything made sense.She began creating resources that have helped thousands of people make peace with their inner mammal.

Loretta G. Breuning joins the show to talk about how to develop healthy habits that retrain your brain and increase your feel good chemicals. Boosting these chemicals, that were once primarily used in evolutionary survival, requires a new approach in our 21st century lifestyle, and Loretta is here to tell us how. She explains how brain chemicals are controlled by neural pathways built from past experiences, how you can build new pathways by feeding your brain new experiences, and what exactly each of our brain chemicals are designed to do. So many fascinating topics and tips discussed in todays podcast. You'll leave with a new understanding of your brain and how you can become a happier person by using Loretta's incredible brain boosting strategies.   On today's podcast, you will learn: The purpose of each of our main neurotransmitters. The experiment where rats drank cocaine water until they died. Why your body releases cortisol so frequently. How to rewire your brain to release more feel good chemicals. How social media affects our brain, and ways to reduce its use. Loretta's top tips for boosting feel good chemicals.   Loretta G. Breuning's Bio: Loretta G.

Have you ever wondered why humans we compare themselves to others and are addicted to approval seeking? The short answer is, we've inherited the brain of mammals who behaved that way.  Despite their best intentions, people care about status.The survival value of status in the state of nature helps us understand our intense emotions about status today. Beneath your verbal brain, you have a brain common to all mammals. It rewards you with pleasure hormones when you see yourself in a position of strength, and it alarms you with stress hormones when you see yourself in a position of weakness. The problem with constant striving for status and approval is that it can be anxiety-provoking and joy-stealing. Nothing feels like enough to our mammal brain. In today's special guest Dr. Loretta G. Breuning's book, Status Games: Why We Play and How to Stop, she shines a light on the brain processes that encourage us to seek higher status. She teaches us how to rewire those connections for more contentment and less stress. No more worrying about keeping up with the Joneses. Your new way of thinking will blaze new trails to your happy hormones and you will relax. Loretta Graziano Breuning, PhD isa globally renowned brain chemistry expert. She is founder of the Inner Mammal Institute and Professor Emerita of Management at California State University, East Bay. Her many prior books on mammalian brain chemistry have been translated into ten languages and cited in major media. She has helped thousands of enthusiastic fans to make peace with their inner mammal.

Status Games This is the third time I've welcomed Loretta on the show. We've previously discussed her work around our happy chemicals and her book Habits of a Happy Brain. In this conversation, we focus on the happy chemical serotonin the role it plays. Loretta shares with us how we can rewire our brain to avoid the trap of comparison and status-seeking to achieve more contentment and satisfaction from life. Nice! Guest Bio. Loretta G.
