Listen to a Drishti Point Yoga Podcast with Rick Hanson, author of The Buddha’s Brain: The Practical Neuroscience of Happiness, Love, and Wisdom. Science now reveals how the flow of thoughts sculpts the brain, and that it’s possible to strengthen positive brain states. Weaving together the classical teachings of Buddhism, and the revolutionary findings of neuroscience, Hansen’s book is about how to use your mind to shape your brain for greater happiness, love, and wisdom. The Buddha’s Brain presents an unprecedented intersection of psychology, neurology, and contemplative practice, to inspire the read to tap the unused potential of your brain and rewire your brain for greater well-being and peace of mind. This is an inspiring and insightful interview about the profound intersection of science and spirituality, and the power of spiritual practices in shaping our brain for greater happiness.
