Retrain your brain to be positive

Did you know we can actually shape our brain to be peaceful and happy? Listen as Patricia interviews Rick Hanson, PhD, neuropsychologist, meditation teacher and author of Buddha’s Brain: The Practical Neuroscience of Happiness, Love & Wisdom. In addition to other topics, Dr. Hanson will discuss our brains natural inclination to absorb negative thoughts and how to “retrain” our brains to work positively. Dr. Rick Hanson is a clinical psychologist, author, and teacher with a great interest in the intersection of psychology, neurology, and Buddhism. He has written and taught extensively about the essential inner skills of personal well-being, psychological growth, and contemplative practice - as well as about relationships, family life, and raising children.
