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, thanks to recent science, we’re finding how these remarkable ways of being are based on equally remarkable changes in our own nervous system.

Free of jargon, pep talks, and empty calls to believe in faith alone, NEURODHARMA is an intimate, personal book describing his own journey of practice, and it’s full of stories, guided meditations, examples, and applications. With his trademark blend of solid science, warm encouragement, and practical suggestions, Rick Hanson offers a fascinating, inspiring vision of who we can be—and an effective path for fulfilling this incredible possibility
