EP 114: The Neurobiology of Well-Being & Resilience | Dr. Richard Davidson

Today in my Radical Responsibility podcast, I chat with Dr. Richard Davidson a professor of psychology and psychiatry, founder and director of the Center for Healthy Minds, neuroscientist, and author. He is best known for his groundbreaking work studying emotion and the brain and is also a leading, international speaker for conversations on well-being including the World Economic Forum. In this conversation, Dr. Richard Davidson speaks about how we can re-train our brains so that we don't become slaves to rumination and worry and therefore become more resilient. We also talk about: -How our relationship with the default mode network within the brain impacts our resilience. -brain research of long-time meditators vs beginner/non-meditators and their response to pain, and the fascinating insights it offers about neurological resilience. -The advantages of short periods of meditation To learn more about Dr. Davidson you can visit https://www.richardjdavidson.com/
