Rick Hanson Ph.D. is a neuropsychologist, speaker, meditation teacher, and the NY Times best-selling author of Hardwiring Happiness, Buddha’s Brain, and Resilience.

For over 30 years he has been researching neuroplasticity and the impact of meditation and mindfulness practices on the human mind. His work has been featured on the BBC, CBS, and NPR, as well as in talks at NASA, Oxford, Stanford, and Harvard.

A recurring theme in his work is the need for mental resources such as mindfulness, self-compassion, and positive emotions. We acquire these resources through learning, but there has been remarkably little attention paid to the actual “how” of growing such inner strengths.

His latest book - Neurodharma - distils this wisdom into 7 scientifically proven and anciently practiced ways to gradually transform your mind for long-lasting well being.

When I first started Inner Truth, Rick was on my “dream list”. Now, 2 and a bit years later, here we are :)
