In our relationships, we experience most of our greatest
joys and our greatest sorrows. The intersection of modern neuroscience and
ancient contemplative wisdom offers skillful means for cultivating an open and
caring heart, emotional balance during conflicts with others, and more
fulfilling relationships. We will cover: A summary of the Buddha’s teachings on
relationships; The embodied basis in your brain of empathy, compassion,
loving-kindness, and love… and how to strengthen those; Practical ways to
combine strength and heart; Expanding the circle of “us” to include all of
“them”.
RICK HANSON, PhD, is a psychologist, Senior Fellow of the
