The Chief Psychology Officer
Ep45 Dulcie Shepherd Swanston, Iain Price PhD: Finding your Inner Confidence
Show Notes

How can you build your self-confidence and have a happier life? In this podcast, Kristian and Dr Amanda interviewed Dulcie and Iain the authors of DOSE a book that articulates 52 Science based ways for a happier and more confident life. They share both the psychological and neuroscientific benefits of each of the 52 actions in terms of the positive neurotransmitters and chemicals for short - DOSE (Dopamine, Oxytocin, Serotonin and Endorphins) and the role each of these play in helping us to feel happier and more confident. This podcast is an introduction into their story behind the book, the impetus for their research and we look at some of our favourite habits and why.
