Grey Matter with Michael Krasny

Rick Hanson - Rewiring Our Circuitry


Listen Later

We met with Rick Hanson, best-selling author, Senior Fellow of UC Berkeley's Greater Good Science Center and founder of the Global Compassion Coalition, to review what neuroscience tells us about how to rewire our mental circuitry for greater physical and emotional wellbeing in the face of the inevitable negative in our lives. Hanson's latest book, Making Great Relationships, is the launch point for our discussion, but we meander from the microscopic within to the infinite of the Big Bang Universe in our explorations of human potential. How and what is within range as we start on this journey? Is unconditional lovingness a reasonable destination? Can our brains open our hearts? How do we skillfully counteract our negative bias? How do we stop seeking approval? Can we be loyal to ourselves? How do we repair our relationships? Where does aggression fit into this picture? How does imagination shape reality? How do we contend with impermanence? Can we create a world where millions of people and organizations experience community with each other, work for the common good, and drive systemic change? Hanson is certain to "make his team proud" with the legacy of love that he has helped to build. The energy of our conversation is intimate and magnetic. Spare an hour to be struck by the human potential of all that is within reach, wherever we happen to be standing. Join us.
