Rick Hanson, Ph.D., is a psychologist, Senior Fellow at UC Berkeley’s Greater Good Science Center, and New York Times best-selling author. His seven books have been published in 31 languages and include Making Great Relationship, Neurodharma, Resilient, Hardwiring Happiness, Just One Thing, Buddha’s Brain, and Mother Nurture – with over a million copies in English alone.

His work is focused on helping you answer common questions like:

  • How might the mind and brain be connected?
  • When the mind changes, how does the brain change, and vice versa?
  • What is happening in my mind/brain when I feel upset?
  • What’s going on in the mind/brain when a person is having a meaningful insight?
  • What is the neurology of consciousness?
  • What are scientifically-validated methods for activating the brain states that support positive mental states?

In our conversation we discuss how to motivate yourself without burning out long-term, building a healthy relationship with yourself and your partner, hardwiring happiness, and more.
