  • About Dr. Rick Hanson

    Rick is a psychologist and has written and taught about the essential inner skills of personal well-being, psychological growth, and contemplative practice – as well as about his relationships, family life, and raising children.

    In 2009, he wrote Buddha’s Brain: The Practical Neuroscience of Happiness, Love and Wisdom. The book shows readers many effective ways to “light up” the brain circuits that relieve worry and stress, and promote positive relationships and inner peace.

    In 2018 his book, Resilient: How to Grow an Unshakable Core of Calm, Strength, and Happiness, explains how to use positive neuroplasticity to develop 12 vital inner strengths – such as grit, gratitude, and compassion – in order to cope with challenges, pursue opportunities, and find lasting well-being in a changing world.

    It’s based on his online program – the Foundations of Well-Being – an experiential journey of personal healing and growth that is a year long course anyone can take.
