How mindfulness changes the emotional life of our brains | Richard J. Davidson | TEDxSanFrancisco
“Why is it that some people are more vulnerable to life’s slings and arrows and others more resilient?” In this eye-opening talk, Richard Davidson discusses how mindfulness can improve well-being and outlines strategies to boost four components of a healthy mind: awareness, connection, insight, and purpose.
Richard Davidson is researching how mindfulness changes the emotional life of our brains and what we know about people’s brains of individuals showing more resilience than others. Davidson is Wiliam James and Vilas professor of psychology and psychiatry at the University of Wisconsin-Madison as well as founder and director of the Center for Healthy Minds. His research is focused on the neural bases of emotion and emotional style and methods to promote human flourishing, including meditation and related contemplative practices. #Neuroscience #Wellbeing #MentalHealth Richard Davidson is Research Professor of Psychology and Psychiatry and Founder & Director of the Center for Healthy Minds, University of Wisconsin-Madison.Davidson’s research is focused on the neural bases of emotion and emotional style and methods to promote human flourishing including meditation and related contemplative practices.

When i lost my family, i had so much grief,… then i lost my ability to participate in my favorite sport.. Then o lost my career job of 20yrs.. and i was destroyed. I started panicking,. I got anxiety, then insomnia… then severe depression. I became homeless and extremely afraid. Depression is so horrifying. Im so negative and can’t stop the torture. I feel like im dying. I just don’t want to live anymore. I can’t feel pleasure in any thought.
… i hate this….. is anyone else suffering like this?
Wow this was some good talk 🎉
BywY got today let litter rain.
Sean webb sent me in my journey of controlling my mind rather my mind controlling me
Wow the brief meditation at the end was amazing. I felt my body buzzing like a tuning fork! 💜
I will never stop being my best. God helps me i have to give him that credit. I died and came back and i am a very in tuned woman spiritually and in dreams. Sometimes the pressure over me is strong because truly a good person is good in all they do which always involves choosing Righteousness
Nothing new here. We all know this We just don’t do it. 😅
Today I am 50 days clean off meth , I feel free and eager to help others
I would like to see these statistics since Covid happened
Solution to all mental, emotional problems, negativity, depression, anxiety = Understand the true meaning of life (it needs a seeker approach and not believer, like Sadguru tells), it will bring gratitude, satisfaction, empathy, happiness in you and make you humble + Ability to pause your mind, stay hours sitting idle without any (or negligible) thought, basically full control over your mind (sandip Maheshwari sir meditation trick works for me)
so suicide went up about the same time we started using mobile phones.. Nowadays I see kids "haning out" together and each staring in to a screen… no human connection anymore..
did this what my teacher said in the end of 10 days Vipassana meditation. I think this dude is also attempted Vipassana meditation.
Excellent speech
Why does YouTube says it encourage suicide in this video.
❤Highly recommend.
Simon sweet METTA Meditation changes our brains … sweet…
So, I’m brand new to Christianity, and this feels like such a great practical lesson of the Bible’s principles! Pray for your enemies. What a great prayer! "May you be happy. May you be free of suffering." I love it. 🥰🙏
I am also new to practicing mindful compassion, especially with people I disagree with. Another principle the Bible teaches: compassion and loving everyone. That’s so cool it lines up well with Buddhism, too. Love everyone, including yourself, including your enemies. People deserve love, because they are human. Not because of their behaviors or opinions.
Luckily I finished the TedTalk before it got taken down for “self-harm topics” smdh. YouTube needs to stop with the censoring.
I love you all

A video of fours years could never be this relevant today in my whole life. Blessed are those who advocate to share their knowledge to help people.
Why can’t I share this video?
I spaced out through this entire video 😅 help
‘Question your thinking, change the world.’ -Byron Katie. 10:50
‘Every man is guilty of all the good he did not do.’ -Voltaire 11:50
Writing this pre having watched the video: Alcoholics Anonymous is a design for life works. Emotional sobriety. Not just addicts. Sorry if this looks like a plug… I just know it’s real, it works, it’s a simple program for complex people, made by doctors and psychologists.
Post video: AA is a wonderful place to learn these skills and to have fellowship in living in them. It’s really cool. Idk if you’re not an addict just… read the literature and apply it to whatever is f*cking you up.

why the loss of meaning represent the image with one programer jaja
life is tragedy up close but a comedy in perspective
gratitude and compassion can help heal anything that causes stress, grief or pain. firm believer. thank you so much for this ❤

Whose gonna tell him about the Dalai Lama toxic traits? 😢
1. Distractibility (what are you doing, where is your mind and how happy are you doing what tou are doing) – wandering mind is an unhappy mind.
2. Negative self talk and narrative
3. Loneliness is. It’s likely to kill
4. Neuro plasticity can be harnessed to control these – low sense of purpose people die early
5, pervasive loss of purpose and meaning of like – low purpose of life people will die early
Pillars of mental health –
A. Awareness -meta awareness
B. connection – nurture harmonious relationship
C. Insight – into the narrative that we have about ourselves change your relationship with your own narrative
D,. Purpose – life is headed for particular direction
Any thoughts on what might be the most over-used word in the lexicon right now? I suggest… "narrative". Sick of hearing it. The sign of the bullshitter.
11:30 "Narrative" used 5 times in under a minute.
That’ll do me, I think….
Well done Ashleigh C. So hard to do. You’re outstanding
Wow change is worthwhile
Very strange this has a content warning.
Amazing speaker
Jesus loves you, peace.
Glad I found this video ! In the meantime they made a free meditation app : healthy minds.
I’m not the dalaï-lama 😅 but it helps me. Thanks a lot !
Why is that an empath can feel depression?
I saved this video 8 Years ago… Just watching now
