Why is it easier to ruminate over hurt feelings than it is to bask in the warmth of being appreciated? Because your brain evolved to learn quickly from bad experiences and slowly from good ones, but you can change this.

Exercise is health-enhancing and life-extending, yet many of us feel it's a chore. But as Kelly McGonigal reveals, it doesn't have to be. Movement can and should be a source of joy. Through her trademark blend of science and storytelling, McGonigal draws on insights from neuroscience, psychology, anthropology, and evolutionary biology, as well as memoirs, ethnographies, and philosophers. She shows how movement is intertwined with some of the most basic human joys, including self-expression, social connection, and mastery.

Publisher's Summary
“This deeply researched and compassionate guide offers an easy-to-follow road map for creating day-to-day inner peace in today’s increasingly complex world.” (Lori Gottlieb, New York Times best-selling author of Maybe You Should Talk to Someone)
Throughout history, people have sought the heights of human potential - to become as wise and strong, happy and loving, as any person can ever be. And now recent science is revealing how these remarkable ways of being are based on equally remarkable changes in our own nervous system, making them more attainable than ever before.
In Neurodharma, the follow-up to his classic Buddha’s Brain, New York Times best-selling author Rick Hanson, PhD, not only explores the new neuroscience of awakening, but also offers a bold yet plausible plan for reverse-engineering peak experiences, sense of oneness, and even enlightenment itself. And he does so with his trademark blend of solid science and warm encouragement, guiding you along this high-reaching path with good humor, accessible tools, and personal examples. A groundbreaking yet practical audiobook, Neurodharma shares seven practices for strengthening the neural circuitry of profound contentment and inner peace - qualities that offer essential support in everyday life while also supporting the exploration of the most radical reaches of human consciousness. Step by step, this audiobook explains how to apply these insights in order to cultivate unshakable presence of mind, a courageous heart, and serenity in a changing world. The breakthroughs of the great teachers are not reserved for the chosen few. Dr. Hanson shows how we can embody them ourselves in daily life to handle stress, heal old pain, feel at ease with others, and rest in the sense of our natural goodness.
The Buddha didn’t use an MRI to become enlightened. Still, 2,500 years after he walked the dusty roads of Northern India, neuroscientists are discovering the mechanisms of the brain that underpin the Buddha’s penetrating analysis of the mind. With deep research, stories, guided meditations, examples, and applications, Dr. Hanson offers a fascinating, inspiring vision of who we can be - and an effective path for fulfilling this wonderful possibility.
This audiobook includes a downloadable PDF that contains reference notes and a bibliography from the book.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

My life is better because of this book!
Dr. Hanson, I can't thank you enough for doing such an incredible job reading your book! This book astonished me. Dr. Rick Hanson has found a way to gently unpack the transcendent and offer it to the reader in a beautifully articulated, poetic, accessible but not simplified text. It is filled with exercises, meditations, applications and everyday examples. He also includes fascinating footnotes to connect us with centuries of tradition and science. I simply couldn't put it down because every word opened up a new way to appreciate, accept and just generally enjoy a better way of approaching life. His gift to us is bringing down to earth otherwise unintelligible concepts. I plan to get my hands on everything Dr. Hanson has written -- Life is short and I owe that to myself.

Not good as an audio book while driving
Loved the content and great narration but HATED that the meditations were part of the chapter. Really needed to be in separate area

Not for listening while driving!!
If you are like me, you listen to Audible books while driving. This book is no good for your commute, as there are meditations in the middle of the chapters. Agree with previous reviews (that I didn't read before downloading, shame on me) that the meditations should be separate chapters or different section entirely, as this book in incompatible with my lifestyle.
The content is excellent, the narration is splendid.
If I were able to skip over the meditations when behind the wheel, I would like this book quite a bit more.

A meditation retreat within a book!
I read this book in sections and enjoyed it. I would like, one day soon, to use it as a meditation retreat over the course of a couple of days. I believe people at any level of practice could benefit from the text and meditation exercises.

A Way of Understanding Yourself
Dr Hanson’s book is a complete picture of the Self and its understanding of itself and its position in the world, informed by neurobiology and Buddhist understanding. The meditations are lovely, bringing you home to yourself so to speak. His voice is soothing in itself. So intelligent and heartfelt.

This field of mindfulness needs a next generation
Most of these aren't normal, traditional mindfulness meditations. It's sort of a very promising combination of mindfulness and positive psychology. First, I honestly think the combination of all the different forms of CBT, including positive psychology, getting mixed and combined with a variety of different meditations is such a promising field that I'd invest money in it if I could. The problem is I think we're 30 or more years away from actually achieving what I picture in my head. You're gonna have to pay close attention to keep someof the meditations from being exactly like another. You'll almost have to listen to it to get the idea of what to do and then go back and listen again, only this time performing the meditation. Once you know what to do, brainstorming and taking notes beforehand might also be a good idea. A good example is you'll need a list of positive experiences in life that fit what the meditation is asking for. It can be tough to do that the first time through. The meditations will be a mixed bag. You may get great results from one and find another completely useless. Another person might find those exact two meditations to be the exact opposite. Previous and current life experiences will dictate these things. I like the format of some of the traditional meditations like the meta meditation. There's a couple of different forms and he does the one I like and the one that will probably get most people the best results. It's also the most guy friendly considering meta medition is also called "loving kindness" meditation. The slightly more modified meditations have potential if you have the positive life experiences needed for some of them. If you don't, you're kind of SOL. There are possible variations I thought of that weren't mentioned like using the positive of anything funny in the meditation. This can be a nice alternative to those lacking positive life experiences. I also wasn't too crazy about the tempo of some of them. I wish they were a little slowly and more methodical. You're supposed to bask in the glow of previous good and you're asked to move on too fast, in my opinion. CBT has evolved a little bit since it's birth. It's even been modified into different forms like DBT, ACT, MBCT and positive psychology. This is a realy good step one that needs a step two. Thanks for opening that door for us, Rick. Now we need a number of devoted, smart individuals to take the ball and run with into the next generation. I think some people will get some benefits from this, but there is so much more potential that's untapped. Expect to do some of the work yourself. This isn't the type of thing where you listen and kind of half heartedly pay attention and the benefits come. You'll have to a bit more than that.
