Rick Hanson, Ph.D. is a clinical psychologist, author, and teacher who recently founded the Heartwood Institute for Neuroscience and Contemplative Wisdom to offer skillful means for changing the brain to benefit the whole person. The work draws on psychology, neurology, and the great contemplative traditions for tools anyone can use in daily life for greater happiness, love, effectiveness, and wisdom. Rick has been my close friend and ally for twenty years. I serve on Heartwood’s board.
