Live @ Lunch!: Rick Hanson - Neurodharma: New Science, Ancient Wisdom, and Seven Practices of the Highest Happiness

Join one of the pioneering thought leaders of our time for this free virtual book event in our P&P Live @ Lunch! Event series – uniquely designed to help you thrive and find meaning.

New York Times bestselling author Rick Hanson, PhD, an expert on positive Neuroplasticity, will discuss the seven qualities at the heart of the highest happiness – and share how we can live from them more deeply and continuously – in a talk about his highly-anticipated new book, NEURODHARMA: New Science, Ancient Wisdom, and Seven Practices of the Highest Happiness. 

Integrating the Buddha’s penetrating analysis of the mind with the latest findings from neuroscientists, Dr. Hanson will explore the most radical reaches of human consciousness – and, step-by-step, will explain how to apply these insights so as to cultivate unshakable presence of mind, a courageous heart, and serenity in a changing world.

Learn how to embody these insights in our daily lives in order to handle stress, heal old pain, feel at ease with others, and rest in the sense of our natural goodness.

Dr. Hanson, who began meditating in 1974, and is the founder of the Wellspring Institute for Neuroscience and Contemplative Wisdom, will share ideas and methods to be more present, have compassion for yourself and others, rest in a calm and grateful confidence, feel whole, and know your interconnectedness with everything.
