In this episode, I speak with Dr. Jay Kumar, director of Contemplative Practices and Wellness at Chapman University and author of Science of a Happy Brain: Thriving in the Age of Anger, Anxiety, and Addiction. Jay discusses the evolutionary aspects that have wired our brains for negativity and how we can hack this programming to assist us in our pursuit of happiness.

Nick Mather, Ph.D.
Greetings! I'm Dr. Nick Mather, host of Rebel Spirit Radio. I have been studying philosophy and religion for over 25 years. I have a B.A. in Philosophy, an M.A. in Religious Studies, and Ph.D. in Philosophy and Religion. Before starting on this journey, I worked as a writer for a small family-owned newspaper in a little mountain town in the foothills of Pike's Peak. I decided to create Rebel Spirit Radio so I could utilize my background in journalism and breadth of knowledge in the world's wisdom traditions to bring you credible information and engaging conversations with writers, artists, educators, and spiritual leaders to help nurture your rebel spirit.
