The Brain Science of Enlightenment | Rick Hanson

The Brain Science of Enlightenment | Rick Hanson

Today we're going to nerd out about what enlightenment (or, if that word is triggering, let's just call it "high doses of meditation") can do to your brain — and, more practically, how we can derive these benefits even if we don't plan to spend decades living in a cave. My guest is Rick Hanson, Ph.D., psychologist and author of the new book Neurodharma. We go into the deep end, yes, but we also get very down-to-earth, talking about how anyone, including you, can "reverse engineer enlightenment," and have "Nirvana operationalized in your nervous system." Quick note that this was recorded right before the pandemic, but enlightenment is evergreen.
