27: How to harness the power of your mind for change with Dr Rick Hanson
On today’s show I have a true idol of mine, the psychologist and New York Times Best Selling author Dr Rick Hanson. He has been a true leader in the entire positive neuroscience movement and I have spent years reading his books (Hardwiring Happiness, Resilient, Buddha’s brain, Just one thing and his latest Neurodharma).
I couldn’t recommend his work more! We speak about whether science and spirituality can exist together, what positive neuro-plasticity is and how this discovery proves no one needs to feel stuck and that change is always possible. We talk about practices that can help us develop inner strengths, gain resilience and live happier. Rick shares wisdom, decades of research and simple tools to help us enjoy life more and focus on the things that make us smile.

A little bit about the NOT PERFECT podcast. Thank you for reading this and thank you for being here. The intention for this podcast is to share conversations on the subjects that can nurture our life from the inside. Just like physical exercise takes work and commitment, I believe our emotional health requires the same attention. Life throws curve balls unexpectedly and these can feel much more manageable when we know more about our mind. I hope these episodes are helpful in sharing tools, tips and insights into our brilliant hardware that can feel faulty but always fixable. I would love to hear from you if you have any feedback or guest suggestions, please find me on instagram @poppyjamie and @happynotperfect.
