​A live conversation with Rick Hanson about his book «Resilient»

​In a world shaped by change and growing uncertainty, we ask: How can we remain calm, strong and hopeful? A conversation about resilience, the development of inner strengths and how positive experiences can become lasting resources for difficult times.

​As part of the MindHeal BookClub Week, we are joined by psychologist and bestselling author Rick Hanson for a conversation about resilience, positive neuroplasticity, and the inner resources that help us navigate life’s challenges.

​Together, we will explore how everyday experiences can gradually shape the brain – and how qualities such as mindfulness, self-compassion, gratitude, courage, and connection can become lasting sources of strength.
