How can you set yourself up to feel good and appreciate the present? Dr. Rick Hanson, PhD, psychologist, expert on positive neuroplasticity, founder of the Global Compassion Coalition and the Wellspring Institute for Neuroscience and Contemplative Wisdom, NYT bestselling author, and podcast host learned to overcome his negative thoughts and feelings by recognizing positive experiences and implementing them in his mind. He shares how to stand up for yourself in relationships, how you can still experience joy when there's issues in the world, why you need to slow down and celebrate your accomplishments, and how to turn everyday experiences into a powerful sense of lasting wellbeing.
