Rick Hanson's The Compassionate Brain - Session 1 - How the Mind Changes the Brain - With Dr. Richie Davidson, professor of psychology at the University of Wisconsin and co-editor of The Asymmetrical Brain

The Compassionate Brain, explores effective ways to change your brain and heart and life. Completed during a 6-week period in October/November of 2012, Dr. Hanson is joined by world-class scholars and teachers, including Richie Davidson, Dan Siegel, Tara Brach, Dachar Keltner, Kelly McGonigal, Kristin Neff, and Jean Houston. They discuss different ways to use the power of neuroplasticity—how the mind can change the brain, to drive transformation in the mind—to open the heart, build courage, find compassion, forgive oneself and others, and heal the world.

Whether you have attended the live broadcasts of this program through your SoundsTrue.com account or you have discovered them here in the online landscape of YouTube, with free public access, this program helps to discover and refine the power of self-directed neuroplasticity. Dr. Rick Hanson invites you to join him and his seven guests to explore the profound implications of this cutting-edge science—and how you can use it to guide your own transformation.
