  • Dr. Rick Hanson is a psychologist, entrepreneur, and author, best known for his work on positive neuroplasticity. Self-directed neuroplasticity is the brain’s ability to rewire itself according to our intentions. It’s the essential mechanism behind mental fitness. As Dr. Hanson points out, we have the power to override 600 million years of evolved mental baggage to live happier, more fulfilling lives.
    He has lectured at NASA, Google, Oxford, and Harvard, and taught in meditation centers worldwide. An expert on positive neuroplasticity, Dr. Hanson's work has been featured on the BBC, CBS, NPR, and other major media. He also founded the Wellspring Institute for Neuroscience and Contemplative Wisdom.
    Topics in this episode include neuroplasticity, negativity bias, the HEAL model, our internal good and bad wolves, and Neurodharma. Dr. Hanson also explains the fascinating neuroscience research done on expert meditators, revealing what our minds are capable of.

    around minute 45: thank you for the reminder. It's unbelievable that it is so easy to become distracted and forget what just a moment ago I knew with every fiber of my being

    I enjoyed Dr Hanson’s Positive Neuroplasticity training in 2017, and continue to find brain malleability and epigenetics endlessly fascinating. Nice conversation.

    Amazing to see how few have enquired after improving their own minds. I wish there more people into who felt like this.

    @33:30 if you're bullied or ostracized, its not because you're defected but because of a evolutionary tendency of people to exclude anyone who is different :o

    In this interview was the statement, “Neurons that fire together wire together.” I have heard that statement a lot in different contexts. The phrase has a nice ring to it, and it is easy to remember. It gives the impression that you are saying, “Neurons that fire together are physically connected to each other by a wire.” While they do form patterns, they are not fixed, and there is no physical connection between the neurons in the patterns.
    The patterns are between axons and dendrites of different neurons, and those little axons are constantly moving, looking for more interesting sites. When the stimulation that brought the patterns together has ended, there is nothing to hold the pattern in place.
    Nothing in the brain physically touches. There is always a gap between axons and dendrites. Only information passes between them across that small gap or synopsis. That information from the axon to the dendrite can excite the next neuron into activating or firing, but no wire holds them together. When the stimulation of the pattern is over, the axon is free to move to another site.
    Suppose the axon and dendrite stay together, with no stimulation or transfer of information between them for some time. In that case, the brain will remove the axion through its natural pruning process and close the dendrite site as part of neuroplasticity.
    Once the pattern is no longer active and no information is being transferred, the pattern is gone, and there is no mechanism in the brain to recall the pattern if the same stimulation is encountered.
    So, my understanding is that the statement, “Neurons that fire together wire together,” is inaccurate and misleading.
    Peace.

    Great channel! Glad I found it. I've had an interest in neuroplasticity for quite some time now along with meditation. Quick question as an avid reader myself, I am wondering if you could recommend some of your favorite books on the brain. I've read books by Dr Norman Doidge and Dr VS Ramachandran, but hoping you have some others you could recommend. Thanks in advance !

    While this is super great information for the average person, what about those who have extreme limbic dysfunction/impairment due to ACES, lifetime traumas, Lyme disease, ME/CFS, depression, anxiety & mental instability due to all of the above. Changing those negative grooves, forming new pathways can seem overwhelming & impossible. Especially when our medical & insurance providers have nothing for us. Any many of us have lost our ability to work. We end up turning to expensive programs (not covered by ins), going from one other because we aren't a one size fits all. It's mentally and financially exhausting. What kind of help can you recommend please? 🥺🧠

      Rule 1: don't tell people you don't have money. They almost never need to know, or have a right to know.
      Examine every statement before you utter it to determine whether it can help you to speak it or harm you. If it can help you, then go for it. If not, don't.

    Letting this moment be as pleasant as possible.
    To one that has shall more be given.....
    Learning anything new moves us from the past into a better future.
    We are perpetually actualizing the potential of/for/to _____.
    As the eye is a lamp unto the body, so is perspective to the Mind. Therefore, if your eye (perspective on Life) be single (all-inclusive), then your whole Being will be full of Life, and the Light of Wisdom and Understanding.
    The Light of Wisdom and Understanding dispels the darkness of ignorance and folly.
    The question begs the question of disagree with what?
    I disagree with coercion.
    The only true authority is the Authority of Truth.

      Make Your Voice heard, Stand United !
      An invention , game changer an innovative approach , a breakthrough in the field of mind research! Well !
      I’ll get to the point right away.Being a non- profit organisation.
      We aspire a better place in the society for the future generation .By the way , today we are in a crucial moment especially due to COVID-19 pandemic among other things . In to the bargain . There have been brewing a war-like situation. It has been a wake-up call for all of us to re-think of ourselves Let us work together hand in hand for a common goal Motivation is a must.
      Our key -focus is to regain momentum for this endeavor and give you an impetus, lending a helping hand. In the Buddhist era , there were no examples or similes to been given to explain rationally with facts some condition s such as ego, astral body , re-incarnation,theism etc. unlike in the past , now we can , with the advancements of science and technology, make all these possible . physics rather then meta-physics continues to help us understand many enigmatic things or phenomena, nity-gritty.
      It is this ego or self that obviously has been the root-cause for many complications and implications in the society. Scientists have made the artificial brain,manipulating the mechanism of brain functions.our brain has all counterparts or equivalents in the artificial brain or your smart phone. I mean,those from CMOS battery , RAM cards , video and sound cards, memory chips, up to capacitors, oscillates, processes, hard disks so and so forth and vice-versa.So , It is vital to get to know how your mind is generated in response to the environment in chemical and physical reactions.By the way now a days , we often hear various narratives in respond to actions done, being inapplicable or inappropriate or even inadvisable, depending on superstitions or misconceptions, other than brain-wash. Moreover, We have to admit the fact that most of the people just suffer due to lack of knowledge of how to satisfy the five senses correctly (not due to lack of dollar) Most importantly .We are living in a world which oscillates in between science and nescience.
      Don’t forget the fact that many challengers lie a head . To be honest , ether appeasing your craving or else, self-indulgence a lone , produces no answers to your problems nor conduces to achieve your goals or to upliftment of the common people .
      Keep in mind , you are wallowing on secular things knowingly or unknowingly about ground reality or the noble truth,being self-centered with no self-restraints. No argument about that.
      Likewise , We feel we need a paradigm shift . Stay united as one family. Let us work , rubbing shoulders for a real change together for the sake of our children’s future.It is taken for granted that endurance , dedication , self-restraint,self-denial are to be grown . By the away,we suggest you an octagonal path way in line with ‘Aryan octagonal path’as follows.These ’8 utilities’ can ,we believe,help release yours, not only your frustration or doom but also that of your loved ones,encouraging those who are concerned,having consent to make attitudinal changes with can-do attitude
      Our main objective is to popularize English language and meta-physics ,through innovative ways and means .
