Practical Wisdom with Dr. Rick Hanson

Why We Suffer—and How to Stop Adding to the Pain


Listen Later

We can’t stop life from bringing pain—loss, disappointment, aging—but we can stop piling extra suffering on top of it. 

In this talk, I explore timeless Buddhist wisdom and practical psychology for meeting life’s “golden winds” without being blown away by them. Learn how to recognize the difference between pain and the suffering we create, work with craving and clinging, and rest in the natural state of peaceful, openhearted happiness that’s already within you.

You’re welcome to join me live each week for these talks — for free — by signing up here. We always start with a guided meditation to set the tone for the evening. If you’d like to experience the meditation that accompanied this talk, you can listen to it here.
