129. Psychologist Shares the Key to Motivating Yourself (Without Burning Out) | Dr. Rick Hanson

Rick Hanson, Ph.D., is a psychologist, Senior Fellow at UC
Berkeley’s Greater Good Science Center, and New York Times
best-selling author. His seven books have been published in 31
languages and include Making Great Relationship, Neurodharma,
Resilient, Hardwiring Happiness, Just One Thing, Buddha’s Brain,
and Mother Nurture – with over a million copies in English alone.


His work is focused on helping you answer common questions like:


How might the mind and brain be connected?

When the mind changes, how does the brain change, and vice
versa?

What is happening in my mind/brain when I feel upset?

What’s going on in the mind/brain when a person is having a
meaningful insight?

What is the neurology of consciousness?

What are scientifically-validated methods for activating the
brain states that support positive mental states?



In our conversation we discuss how to motivate yourself without
burning out long-term, building a healthy relationship with
yourself and your partner, hardwiring happiness, and more.
