Broody, a very unhappy brain, is plagued by fear and self-doubt.

“Seeing others in pain, physical or emotional, fires his own pain network,” says Amit Sood, M.D., professor of medicine at the Mayo Clinic and chair of the Mayo Mind Body Initiative, in a new video “starring” Broody. “His imaginary fears cause him real damage.”

With the help of a friend and a short course in happiness, Broody learns why cultivating deeper gratitude and compassion can make all the difference.

 Never underestimate the power of positive thinking.

In a YouTube video he posted on Wednesday, 20-year-old Peter Foster promotes a message of optimism, despite a large number of disabilities he lives with on a daily basis. Foster has undergone 40-60 surgeries, he wrote on his YouTube page, to treat over 25 diagnoses. But, despite all that, he keeps looking forward.

“I’m still loving life because it could always be worse,” he says.

Seattle-based author and editor Jane Catherine Lotter had many accomplishments in her life — notably, a weekly humor column called “Jane Explains” and a recently published comic novel, The Bette Davis Club — but at the end of her life, she didn’t define success in terms of her career achievements.
Lotter died of endometrial cancer on July 18 at the age of 60, survived by her husband, 19-year-old son and 23-year-old daughter. One of the “few advantages” of dying of cancer, Lotter wrote with characteristic humor and wit in the Seattle Times, “is that you have time to write your own obituary.” Lotter’s touching tribute to her own life went viral on Twitter shortly after it was published.
