Here’s my suggestion for what to do when you find yourself in the company of people whose views differ from yours. Grant them the benefit of the doubt as to their intentions unless their views are morally indefensible to you. (My list of morally indefensible includes discrimination against people based on their race, religion, ethnicity, country of birth, gender, sexual orientation, disability.) Prejudice against any of these people is a deal-breaker for me because it’s an attack on our fundamental human right to be who we are and to live as we please so long as we’re not harming others.

I suggest that if a friend or relative crosses your deal-breaker line, speak up—but not in anger. Without attacking the other person—and with as much care as you can muster—state your views as skillfully as you can. Then, if the other person wants to start an argument with you, refuse to contend with him or her. I love these words from the Thai Buddhist monk Ajahn Chah: “If there is no one to receive it, the letter is sent back.”

If you think you’re seeing things as they really are, think again. Unless you’ve had the deep experience of letting go, there is only a myriad of illusions.

Intimacy: Me and We 

In relationships, it’s natural to join with others, but it’s also fundamentally important to have a strong sense of your own autonomy. In this clip from my Foundations of Well-Being program I explain how you can create a secure base of “me” inside yourself to be more able to explore “we” out in the world.

A Courageous Brain: Not Manipulated by Needless Fear

pablo-4

Our ancestors evolved a frightened brain for survival in harsh conditions. Today, unnecessary and unwarranted fear can make it harder to speak from the heart, dream big dreams and stand up to the manipulations of advertisers and demagogues. A Courageous Brain: Not Manipulated by Needless Fear is a Commonwealth Club National Podcast where Dr. Rick Hanson, Ph.D., explores the practical neuroscience of courage in ourselves, our homes, offices and politics.  Go to the Commonwealth Club for more information.

Dealing and Healing After Loss: 9 Tips to Help You Get Through the Day


“Our strength grows out of our weaknesses.” Ralph Waldo Emerson
If you don’t know where to start, start anywhere. I keep telling myself that every time I am stuck. Well, I’ve been a widow for year and a half, and I am twenty-four years old. Maybe that’s the way to start here. My husband had cancer. We tried to enjoy the time before his passing as best we could, so he would die with memories, not dreams. And I guess that the fact that he died content is quite an accomplishment in our relationship. But it doesn’t change anything in my sorrow. People keep telling me that I am young, I have my life ahead of me, I should forget, move on, stop mourning, take anti-depressants, and usually they add that I will find somebody else and be happy again…
