Buddha’s Brain

Rick Hanson

Buddha’s Brain brings neuroscience, psychology, and contemplative practice together to ask how the mind can reduce avoidable suffering and cultivate well-being. It explains how attention, emotional regulation, compassion, and insight may change habitual responses, and offers practices for developing them while acknowledging scientific uncertainty and individual limits.
