What would it take to be happy most of the time, to feel satisfied and calm in each moment? Author and neuropsychologist Rick Hanson shows us how in his new book Hardwiring Happiness, The New Brain Science of Contentment, Calm and Confidence. Rick will share four steps to take in the good into our brains: first, have a positive experience, next, extend it and then, absorb it. These steps when practiced, activate a useful mental state and then install it in the brain. The fourth step is being able to hold the positive and the negative feeling and then replace the negative one with the positive, such as feeling glad and grateful rather than sad; connected rather than separated, loved rather than mistreated and so on. Dr. Hanson inspires us to build positive resources inside  us, that over time will sensitize our brains to the goodâ€¦..for good!

Hardwiring Happiness with Dr. Rick Hanson

We Carry The Light with Host Dr. Susan Allison We Carry the Light, "Inspiration for Transformation," is the show that inspires you to find the light within, the highest of you are, and shine your brightest. Your host, Dr. Susan Allison, will help you to celebrate your unique self. We Carry the Light will help you to discover who you are right now and who you want to be. You will learn what makes you happy, helps you feel fulfilled and living your purpose. You carry the unique light that only you can shine. This light is energy, information, wisdom and love that you are meant to share. In doing so you can transform yourself, help others and our planet. If the entire world were a jigsaw puzzle and each person one piece, what is your piece, your offering that helps create a better world? On We Carry the Light you'll hear from guests who model how to be the highest, brightest, most evolved, fulfilled and conscious people we can be. Together we can illumine and transform ourselves and the planet. We can evolve into a new species of divine humans that some now call "homo luminous." We know from quantum physics that all matter is densely packed light, including us, and scientists tell us we are made from the stars. We do carry the light within us, the light of who we truly are as we fulfill what we are meant to do here on earth. About Dr. Susan Allison - Dr. Allison is a transpersonal psychologist, process therapist, shamanic practitioner, energy healer, ordained minister and the award-winning author of five books. Her first non-fiction text, Conscious Divorce, Ending a Marriage with Integrity was published by Random House and has helped thousands heal their hearts and move on with greater awareness and peace. Her companion poetry book, Breathing Room, the Leaving of a Marriage, assists readers to feel the emotions during the grieving process of separation and divorce, and feel hope that they can begin a new life. Her next non-fiction book Empowered Healer, Gain the Confidence, Power and Ability to Heal Yourself, gives readers the four steps to miraculous self-healing, based on the author's twenty years of research and practice. A newly released poetry book, Our Spirits Dance, Poetry of Soul Mates, shares the love poems of the author and her husband, Thomas Hickenbottom, over their nineteen years together, until his transition in 2013. This book is Dr. Allison's most personal one yet, and offers readers the beauty of soul-mated love, with the poems speaking across the page like love letters being exchanged. A new non-fiction book You Don't Have To Die To Go to Heaven, Visit Spirit Realms, Gain Insight and Enrich Your Life, is due out in the fall of 2015 with Red Wheel/Weiser/Hampton Roads Publishing. Dr. Allison has also been honored as a "Woman of the Year" in California for her work with adolescents, has received several outstanding teaching awards, has been published dozens of times in journals and magazines and has won a prose award for her short story Mated Ones. Dr. Allison works with clients and groups in private practice as well as doing phone sessions with individuals all over the world. She has been a radio host of the popular show "Empowered Healer," with 14,000 listeners, and has been a guest on over fifty shows, sharing her empowered healer method, her poetry and most recently, her ability to spirit travel to other dimensions and help listeners overcome their fear of death and visit departed loved ones. When she is not seeing clients, writing or speaking, she enjoys a joyful life by the sea in Santa Cruz, California.
