Change Your Brain, Change Your Life

Rick Hanson, author of Buddha's Brain (one of Shih Fu Eileen's recommended readings) is hosting a free 7-part video series called "The Compassionate Brain" with extraordinary guests that will talk about effective ways to change your brain and heart and life.

Beginning Monday, October 8, 2012, on seven Monday nights, 5-6 pm Pacific time, Hanson will interview a world-class scholar/teacher (in order):

Richie Davidson,
Dan Siegel,
Tara Brach,
Dacher Keltner,
Kelly McGonigal,
Kristin Neff, and
Jean Houston.

Each week, they'll discuss different ways to use the power of neuro-plasticity - how the mind can change the brain to transform the mind - to open the heart, build courage, find compassion, forgive oneself and others, speak and act from both kindness and strength, and heal the world.

You can watch live or see the archived videos if you miss a session. These unique conversations with first-rate experts are freely offered - along with their  practical tools for cooperation, empathy, and kindness. 

It's interesting, solid, practical, convenient, and free.

  1. Read this book recently. It has practical wisdom regarding the insight of neuro biology's impact on the meditative state.
