Hey everyone, welcome to Being Well, I'm Forest Hanson.

If you're new to the podcast, this is where we explore the practical science of personal

growth.

And if you've listened before, welcome back.

I'm joined as usual by Dr. Rick Hanson, Rick is a clinical psychologist, a best-selling

author, and he's also my dad.

So dad, how are you doing today?

Really good, and I could not be more psyched to talk with our two guests today.

Yeah, very much the same.

Today, we're going to be exploring how we can deliberately support our growth and change

for the better with Dr. Scott Barry Kaufman and Dr. Jordan Finegold.

Scott is a cognitive scientist and a humanistic psychologist exploring the depths of human

potential.

He's a professor at Columbia University, author of ten books, which, as somebody who's

co-authored one book, just covers me in amazement, maybe a little bit of dread at the

sheer amount of effort involved, including recently his best-selling book, Transcend,

the new science of self-actualization, and host of the very popular psychology podcast.

If you like being well, you will probably love that.

And Jordan is a resident's physician in psychiatry, a well-being researcher, and a positive

psychology practitioner.

Her research and clinical interests include incorporating positive psychology approaches

into healthcare delivery.
