NERDS ROCK!!! The most attractive thing on a man is a brain that works, a heart that shows compassion and a life dedicated to adventure and learning....

it would be great if the education system put the neural pathways training, meditation, positive-thinking,... in schools. Who knows, the world can change instantly into a happier/better place.

His book, Buddha’s Brain, helped me tremendously. Read it.

3:07 - Neurons that fire together, Passing mental states become lasting neural traits. 5:10 - To feel more confident: have more experiences of accomplishment or coping. 5:17 - If you wanna have a more loving heart: practice moments of compassion or kindness for others. 5:25 - To get more positive experiences, we have to overcome the brains hardwired Negativity Bias. 6:03 - Negativity bias was evolutionarily advantageous to avoid danger. Once burned, twice shy. 6:27 - Good relationships need a ratio of 5 : 1 (positive to negative) interactions 6:35 - Re-listen to the rest

make someone else happy by doing little things, smile at them, praise them, include them, make them feel wanted These small memories help them to feel good.

I really enjoyed how simple and useful this talk is. Rick Hanson has a really soothing voice, too. I'll be practicing these lessons.

"What's the most important minute of your life? The next one. Can't do anything about the past. A few minutes into the future we lose a lot of influence. What will we do with the good that's authentically available to us in the next minute?". This resonated with me. Maybe this is a technique for being present - only think about the next minute.

This is a scientific explanation of 17 second magic. I'm going to encorporate this into my work as a registered dietitian/nutritionist with clients. Thanks!

Dr. Rick Hanson explains with wonderful clarity the missing piece of the puzzle of changing the mind to change the brain to change the mind. Fantastic graphics that allow for an easy understanding of complex psychoneurological concepts.

"Little by little fill yourself with the good" What an amazing talk!

That was an amazing speech! My understanding of meditation has been ENHANCED!!!!

Excellent speech to help us rewire our brain. Probably we all know that reliving or recalling good past moments does make us feel better but what he has added is that you can actually erase negative memories and experiences by bring in and holding on to positive feelings continuously. Hats off to you!

"change the mind to change the brain to change the mind"... MIC DROP

Loved the talk. Very good points.. Finally someone emphasising upon Creating Happiness rather than just Not Being Unhappy.

Now I know why loving-kindness (metta) mediation is important!

An inspirational talk. Overcoming our hardwired negativity bias through rewiring the brain to happiness. By capturing , savouring , and staying with otherwise fleeting positive moments a little longer. Turning them into lasting neural circuits, which in turn re-emit positive energy. Neurons that fire together wire together Inspired by this talk, I set on rewiring my brain to what I view as the four pillars of happiness and contentment: Acceptance, Gratitude, Forgiveness and Mitfreude ( The opposite of Schadenfreude) I like Rick Hanson's metaphorical pictures: “Weaving these resources into the fabric of my brain” A valuable insight: Practising compassion cultivates us a good heart Virtuous circus: Inner strengths are born from and reinforced by positive moments and actions. The other way round as well. This Tibetan Saying resonates with me “If you take care of the minutes, the years will take care of themselves.” Drop by drop the water pot is filled” . Maybe an overused saying, but it remains a fundamental truth.

So grateful for your work Dr. Hanson. Every one of your presentations so far has been part of the "drop by drop" of good helping to rewire my neural pathways to more of a green setting. Thank you so much for your groundbreaking work.

Everything you do - Everything you encounter - Everything you experience - ------- is changing your brain --------

This man is a genius!

amazing... I have listening to this several times and it still makes me wanna say - wow! thank you Dr Hanson...and the organizers...

I understand that all meditation methods share a lot of similarities, but Dr Hanson's talk is very interesting that what he suggests is pretty much that of the compassion meditation taught in the Buddhist tradition.

Fabulous! So simply and elegantly explained how to change your brain. I can do this! This practice (and problem) is the most important thing to overcome negativity and reactionary behavior.

I find this talk so helpful and actionable and world changing

This is absolutely correct: Every educator must know these basics …

Loved this! I am a third grade teacher taking an online math class. It has explained mindsets which led me to seeking info to create a mindset intro for my students. Found this link on a website and listened to your talk on happiness. I have written down how to help myself become less stressed and more happy. Thank you!

such a blessing! we are so far behind in germany in this matter.

Very well said Dr. Hanson, the way he explained this topic , to me made me the realize the key to happness is to meditate and imagine yourself being loved and appreciated by others , taking positive past experiences and feeling it,like its actually happening in the present moment.

Thank you Dr. Hanson for this truly helpful teaching.

"if you take care of the minutes the years will take care of themselves" Tibetan Saying. Thank you, Dr. Hanson!

Love this. So simple and so effective! Thank you

This seems to provide the neurological/physiological explanation of why certain psychotherapeutic approaches work extremely well and quickly while others are largely a waste of time.

Excellent presentation! And this is why we can change adverse childhood memories! :)

Game changer. Thank you for your work Rick.

Thank you!

lovely.thank-you.

WOW Thank you :)

Small PSA: John Gottman's research found that 5:1 is NOT (as stated here) the ratio of positive to negative in healthy relationships--it is the ratio of positive to negative when a healthy relationship is in conflict. Outside of conflict, healthy relationships sustain a ratio of 20:1, positive to negative.

Its has to be he's heart that make hem a Genius. He has the gift to easily convey the massage. Amazing ; - )>

NEVER GONNA GIVE ME UP

Awesome video!

That was brilliant.

Thankyou

This was GOOD!

sow, thank you

What a great video

the subtitles are filled with mistakes - I wish I knew how to edit it cause it can confuse (more than help) people interested in that powerful content!

HEAL Practice: 7.40 mins 💖🌹🙏

I dont think theres a negativity bias. We just have negative minds because we live in modern society and are around modern people. Thats why monks and yogis go off into nature away from people to find their natural inner happiness.

At 7:40 you're asked to think of someone who cares about you! Anyone! Anything! What if you can't answer for sure? That hurts...

I find that feelings are situation/context specific. So, enriching one feeling that originates from a particular situation does not globally affect other different situations I encounter. Also, I find the more I enrich a feeling (excessively cling to it), subsequently losing that particular event from my life makes it that much more painful to bear. I prefer to use ancient well-tested techniques of meditation, mindfulness and especially vipassana techniques to manage my daily stress.

Maravilhoso

Very interesting....

Underated

great

Very nice

I like this concept, my question is what if you can’t find or connect to that “ good feeling” of being cared for? I never felt safe as a child at home. I was taught not to trust anyone-so when grandparents tried to “ care” for me i was afraid my parents would get mad at me. The trauma in my brain started very young. I want to change. I can’t connect to that feeling because I don’t know what if feels like. What can I do to make the neuro shift ? Thank you

Good stuff. I expected him to say "Namaste" at the end.

WOW!

Does anyone understand what we're supposed to do in the chapter around 7:03?

Why i think i know that secret ? Really i know the secret of being happy for ever

Nice

NOW DID YOU SEE HOW THEY USE THE TACTICAL CAMO ON THE NEXT ONE?

Excellent conference on wiring happiness into the brain. I only have one complaint. The Closed Cationing for the Hearing Impaired on this program is extremely bad.

Hardwiring right, good, wisdom and happiness

By the way, it works!

I just saw this video as this DR is talking in the movie MINIMALIST..

How come he can quote Buddhism but if he quotes a Christian Bible then it would be censored? I’m just saying, because Caroline Leaf has been teaching this in her essays, books, and speeches on “toxic thoughts” for years.
