Podcast Description
We all want greater happiness, love, and wisdom. To support you on your path, I’ve gathered tools and information from psychology, brain science, and the contemplative traditions. These are offered freely here to help reduce stress, sorrow, fear, and anger; to promote well-being and personal growth; and – if this is of interest to you – to deepen your own chosen spiritual practice. May these benefit you, and in widening ripples, our world so full of promise and peril!

Customer Reviews
His output is invaluable: meditation and neuroscience for everyday living!
I have recently read Buddha's Brain from Rick Hanson and was greatly inspired and enlightened by his bridging of neuroscience and meditation techniques to rewire the brain (due to it's plasticity) for overall better mood functioning. I am currently listening to Rick Hanson's Stress Proof the Brain (part 4 of the above podcast is in this work) and found it extremely helpful in helping me deal with the stresses of life that have left me weathered and at times hopeless. His delivery is simple, relaxing, poignant and clear; I hope he becomes a household name and that more people use his techniques so that we all can be more accepting and better equipped to deal with life's difficulties.
