I’m looking forward to going deeper into this work as it really is a treasure trove and an important contribution to the field in my opinion. I’m finding the guided practices interspersed throughout to be healing and insightful. I’d recommend this book to anyone with an interest in our potential to learn and grow as human beings. Makes it feel both cutting edge contemporary and ancient perennial at the same time. 36 people found this helpful Helpful Report abuse Jason P.
Rick Hanson verified this ancient knowledge with neuroscience for its effectiveness.I would recommend this book for anyone who is on the journey of awakening and living a happier life. The synthesis of well referenced psychological research, grounded in science, and practices and philosophical frameworks from the worlds wisdom traditions, particularly Buddhism, all shared in an accessible, practical, easy going way is a special combination. Neurodharma is Buddhist principle for living an awakened life. I have ordered the book to complement the audio as there is so much valuable material here I want to be able to reference specific sections. His voice is warm and wise, just like his writing. I’m happy that he has narrated the audio book. I am especially interested in using these approaches to heighten the learning - the cultivation (bhavana) - from beneficial experiences (otherwise often wasted on the brain) to reduce the underlying sense of deficit and disturbance that causes the craving that causes suffering and harm.Five stars for sure! I own all of Dr Hanson’s books and I can honestly say this is the best one yet. More recently, I've explored grounding the dharma in modern evolutionary neuropsychology - "neurodharma" - recognizing how mind arises dependently upon the body, especially the nervous system as it tries to meet ancient needs for raw survival.
Over time I gravitated to the original teachings of the Buddha, embodied in the Theravadan tradition, for their down-to-earth clarity, and important sources for me have included the teachers of Spirit Rock Meditation Center and the Pali Canon itself. I first encountered Buddhism in 1974, and it blew the doors wide open for me with its profound and practical insights into the mind, suffering, and true happiness. Neurodharma Resilient Hardwiring Happiness + ALL BOOKS Offers simple, accessible, practical steps for touching the peace and joy that are every person’s birthright.
