“Marrying science with spiritual practices, bestselling author Rick
Hanson shares seven principles to awaken, enlighten, and discover
true happiness . . . While meditation, mindfulness and other
spiritual practices, including those in his Neurodharma, are
truly transformational, the goal is to move from passing states of
peace and calm into lasting change in our everyday, waking
life.”—Elevated Existence Magazine
“Rick Hanson has a rare ability to inspire us to our fullest
potential while giving us practical, actionable tools for our
everyday lives.”—Marie Forleo, author of Everything Is
Figureoutable
“A brilliant and unprecedented offering, Neurodharma will
guide you to the upper reaches of your potential as a human
being.”—Deepak Chopra, MD, New York Times bestselling author
of You Are the Universe and Metahuman
“Rick Hanson’s seven steps of awakening are a remarkable
presentation of how the brain, mindfulness, and meditation are
interconnected. There is a surprise perhaps for some in his take on
nirvana but you have to read the book to find out what it
is!”—Sharon Salzberg, author of Lovingkindness and Real Change:
Mindfulness to Heal Ourselves and the World
"The Dalai Lama once told me that he loves neuroscience, but that
western psychology is still in kindergarten. With this brilliant
synthesis, psychology just took a giant leap forward!”—Joan Z.
Borysenko, PhD, author of Minding the Body, Mending the Mind
“Rick Hanson has done a remarkable job weaving together the
teachings of the Buddha, the insights of neuroscience, and the
wisdom of his many years of practice. With great
lucidity, this impressive work offers a wide range of teaching
instructions that help us realize our highest aspirations.”—Joseph
Goldstein, author of Mindfulness: A Practical Guide to
Awakening
“Rick Hanson’s brilliance is the capacity to offer practical,
powerful, scientifically grounded practices that lead to true
happiness and a loving heart. This is an illuminating and
transformational book!”—Tara Brach, PhD, author of Radical
Acceptance and Radical Compassion
“Combining a deep understanding of both neuroscience and Buddhist
practice and philosophy, Rick Hanson has beautifully created a
fascinating synthesis that shows how to train the mind to transform
the brain toward health and flourishing.”—Daniel J. Siegel, MD, New
York Times bestselling author of Aware: The Science and
Practice of Presence and Mind: A Journey to the Heart of
Being Human; executive director, Mindsight Institute
“The book has a nice structure, presenting both science and
classical spiritual approaches to awakening. [Hanson]’s set the
book up to feel like a retreat, presenting concepts in chunks and
following them up with guided meditations . . . The more we learn
about how our brains work, Hanson shares, the more assuredly we can
travel up the path toward the mountain of
enlightenment.”—Spirituality & Health
