Pos. Psych isn’t Happiology


Permission to be Human

- Dr. Tal Ben Shahar


Neuroplasticity • “Thoughts that fire together, wire together.”

(Hebb, 1949)

• Long Term Potentiation (LTP):

– Repetition makes the neuron fire stronger/faster

– Interrupting/Redirecting makes neurons fire

weaker/slower.

Hebbian Theory: “Cells that fire , together wire together.” Hebb, D.O. (1949). The organization of behavior. New York: Wiley
