I got to drill Rick Hanson on what is happening behind the scenes in our species evolution with collective leadership.  For those who don’t know Rick – you should. And you should listen. I took 4 pages of notes during the interview.

Rick Hanson, Ph.D., is a psychologist, Senior Fellow of the Greater Good Science Center at UC Berkeley, and New York Times best-selling author. His books include Hardwiring Happiness, Buddha’s Brain, Just One Thing, and Mother Nurture. A summa cum laude graduate of UCLA and founder of the Wellspring Institute for Neuroscience and Contemplative Wisdom, he’s been an invited speaker at NASA, Oxford, Stanford, Harvard, and other major universities, and taught in meditation centers worldwide.

The dude gets neuroplasticity at the forefront of psychology and meditation. Our conversation moves from the personal to the political. From claiming truth for yourself to claiming justice for all. You’ll receive an earful, a heartful and a brainful from this episode with Rick.

I rap with Rick Hanson about social evolution, connection + leadership

• Know your 3 needs and 3 brains
• How to come home to yourself quickly and thoroughly
• Advocating for our shared truth, shared welfare, shared justice and shared power/resources

What you’ll get out of tuning in:    

• A brief social history of our species that makes sense and rings true
• Why women are the driving force of social change
• What it means to feed the lizard and pet the money
