Get ready to nerd out on the autonomic nervous system and the neurobiology of simple pleasures. We will focus on resilience to daily stress, anxiety, depression and relationship challenges, but there will be a lighter side as we map our autonomic responses to music, pictures of kittens, and other moments in life.
