Wise Brain Bulletin
The Wise Brain Bulletin brings you skillful means - from psychology, neurology, and contemplative practice - for
personal well-being, relationships, work, and spiritual development.
The Bulletin is published once a month, and contains major articles
as well as lots of nuggets about the brain, inspiring quotes, links
to awe-inspiring pictures and websites, and much more.
You are also invited to contribute to it yourself, as a collaborative exploration of individualized and effective methods for health, happiness, and - if you like - spiritual growth.
You can always check this page for the most recent issue of the Bulletin, as well as for previous issues. And you can subscribe to it via
email by contacting Rick Hanson, Ph.D.
