Just One Thing
by Rick Hanson
Fifty-two short practices, one a week, for building a calmer, more resilient brain: take in the good, find strength, be for yourself, feel safer, notice you are alright now. Each is two or three pages with the neuroscience in a sentence. The most usable of Hanson's books.
Read it if…
you want a year of small, evidence-informed practices.
Skip it if…
you want the theory; see Hardwiring Happiness.
Three things you will actually use
- Neurons that fire together wire together; pick what fires.
- Small practices, repeated, change the brain.
- Take in the good deliberately; the brain will not do it alone.
Do this first
Do 'notice you're alright right now' for one week before moving on.
Our verdict
A year of small practices.
