Do you feel a sense of struggle even when you should be happy?

'My life seems on track, but I feel unfulfilled.' 'Others seem more fortunate than I am.' 'Even after achieving goals, I feel more rushed.' 'I should be happy, but I feel anxious.'

According to the new book, the root of these feelings is not your life itself, but 'brain habits' that prevent you from focusing on the happiness right before you. In today's world, many who don't understand how to use their brains are effectively 'training to be unhappy.'

'How to Train My Brain: Why You Can't Feel Happiness' is a guide to gaining a brain that can deeply savor present happiness by understanding these habits and learning proper countermeasures.

The story features 'Nama-san,' a sloth and master of a mysterious cafe who excels at savoring happiness. Through his interactions with Mariko, an office worker overwhelmed by her brain's quirks, the book explains neuroscientific concepts in an easy-to-understand way.

Author Michihito Sugawara, an active neurosurgeon with over 20 years of clinical experience, advocates for a style of medicine that supports one's heart and way of life based on life goals. A frequent guest on television, he is highly regarded for his clear explanations of complex brain mechanisms.
