Dr. Loretta Breuning
Dr. Breuning is Founder of the Inner Mammal Institute & author of Habits of a Happy Brain: Retrain your brain to boost your serotonin, dopamine, oxytocin & endorphin levels. As Professor of Management at California State University, she lost faith in prevailing views of human motivation. She found new perspectives in studies of brain chemistry we share with earlier mammals. She began creating resources to help people manage their inner mammal. The Inner Mammal Institute offers videos, books, podcasts, multimedia, & a training program, to help you make peace with your essence on InnerMammalInstitute.org Her latest book, Tame Your Anxiety: Rewiring Your Brain for Happiness, says our brain is not designed to release happy chemicals all the time for no reason. These chemicals are designed to reward survival behavior. Our large cortex helps us make long-term decisions about “survival,” but doesn’t control the happy chemicals. To feel good, you have to make peace with your inner mammal.
