So here you are, you're resting, abiding as awareness, you're starting to get closer and closer

to the ground state of your own brain, kind of the idling rate of your own brain. And there's less

and less deliberate doing, deliberate doing starts dropping out, and you start having more and more

of direct experiencing of the truth of things

that we are continually being made. This moment of experience is continuously being made by countless

factors and processes that we don't own and cannot control. And there can be a shift increasingly,

as you abide in this deep way, of identity.

Collective insights as a voyage through topics and technologies revolutionizing human well-being.

Groundbreaking approaches for a better world and a better life away you.

Welcome to Collective Insights.

Welcome back to Collective Insights podcast.

I'm Dr. Dan Stickler, your host for the day.

And I have the pleasure of having an outstanding human

being by the name of Rick Hansen. He's a psychologist, senior fellow of UC Berkeley's Greater

Good Science Center, and New York Times bestselling author. He has lectured at NASA, Google, Oxford,

and Harvard, taught in meditation centers worldwide.

His latest book, Neurodharma, explores how neuroscience and ancient wisdom can be combined

to achieve seven practices of the highest happiness.

And today we're going to be really diving into his latest book, Neurodharma.

Many of you, I'm sure, have read some of his

previous books. This one was fascinating to me because it kind of talked to me about some of the

stages that I've been going through lately. So welcome, Dr. Hansen. It's good to have you here.
