The brain can be happier. It's just something we do every day, and we don't even know it.

The article discusses how our brains can be happier by understanding their ability to experience others' pain and confusion between real and imagined threats. It explains that the brain processes both physical and emotional pain similarly, which can lead to distress when we imagine dangers that don’t exist. The piece emphasizes that emotional suffering is just as real to the brain as physical pain, and suggests practices like gratitude and empathy can improve mental well-being by shifting focus away from constant worry and self-centered concerns.
