Hello and welcome to Being Well, I'm Forest Hanson.

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

and well-being.

And if you've listened to before, welcome back.

I'm joined today as usual by Dr. Rick Hanson, Rick as a clinical psychologist and a

best-selling author and he's also my dad, so dad, how are you doing today?

I'm good and I can say most sincerely, always happy for us to be interacting with you.

Yeah, it's always so great to do this and I'm going to start today's episode with a little

bit of flattery, not just for you, but for our listeners.

We're incredibly lucky to have such an engaged and interested group of people who listened

to the podcast.

And because of that, we regularly get really interesting questions through email and on social

media.

And today, we're going to be doing something that we haven't done for a long time and

open up our mailbag.

These are all questions that we received through either social media or email.

As I said, and you can find our social accounts on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter, or by following

the links in the description of today's episode on your podcast player.

If you'd like to have a question answered on a future edition of the show, just send it

in to contact at beingwellpodcast.com.

And if you'd really like to get a question answered, you can join us on Patreon.

I respond to pretty much every message we receive over there and it's at patreon.com slash
