The Compassionate Brain

The Compassionate Brain

Activating the Neural Circuits of Kindness, Caring, and Love – Practical Neuroscience for Transformation

Dr. Rick Hanson presents a FREE seven-part video series—The Compassionate Brain—that explores effective ways to change your brain and heart and life.

Each week Dr. Hanson will be joined by a world-class scholar/teacher, including Richie Davidson, Dan Siegel, Tara Brach, Dacher Keltner, Kelly McGonigal, Kristin Neff, and Jean Houston. They’ll discuss different ways to use the power of neuroplasticity—how the mind can change the brain to transform the mind—to open the heart, build courage, find compassion, forgive oneself and others, and heal the world.

Can’t make a live session? On-demand streaming videos will be available a few days after each session’s conclusion.
