Many times we talk about preventing Alzheimer's disease, longevity, and losing sight on the fact that we need to be happy today.

Now, I don't want to say I'm happy to eat my hamburger and French fries and soda because I'm happy, because those are major risk factors for strokes and heart attacks, and that's not a good way to be happy.

You can't say, look, I love smoking and it makes me happy.

I mean, if that's your choice, then fine, do it, but that's not a good idea.

But if you can find ways to enjoy your day-to-day life, and one way to enjoy your day-to-day life is to improve your brain health.

It's your brain that makes you happy.

happy or unhappy.

It's your brain that determines if you're satisfied with your life.

And it's your brain that you can improve upon.

It's so interesting to me.

Our brain makes us who we are and how we think and what we do, but it has malleability.

We can't control our brain.

to make it such that we're happier, we do more, and we enjoy our lives more.

But I think it's important to make that a goalpost for yourself, that I wanna do things to have a healthier brain, and when I have a healthier brain, I'm gonna enjoy life.

I'm gonna wake up every day looking forward to the day I'm gonna have.

When I go to bed at night, I'm gonna look back and say, what a great day it was.

and plan for the next day, ultimately you want to be happy.

I mean, I don't want to add stress to people.

Like they already hear so many things about their taxes and economy and how to raise children.

There's so many things to do every day.
