One of the most important skills we can develop is learning how to learn\u2013how to update old beliefs about ourselves, take in new information, and build psychological resources like courage, gratitude, and confidence. We have experiences from which we could potentially learn all the time, but how often are we able to actually implement lasting change from our positive experiences?\nOn this episode of Being Well, Dr. Rick and Forrest Hanson dive into Rick\u2019s recently published study on our capacity for deliberate growth. We talk a bit about the neurological components of learning, how the study worked, and what the practical takeaways are to help us make learning stick.\nWatch the Episode: Prefer watching video?
