Summary of Rick Hanson & Forrest Hanson's Resilient

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 Compassion is the ability to feel pain with the desire to relieve it. It is both soft and muscular. When people feel compassion, motor planning areas in the brain begin preparing for action.

#2 When we treat others with respect and care, the best in them usually comes out. We can also treat ourselves the same way. But most of us are a better friend to others than we are to ourselves.

#3 It’s important to understand the reasons it’s both fair and important to be on your own side. Otherwise, beliefs like these can take over: It’s selfish to think about what you want. You don’t deserve love.

#4 The process of positive brain change is simple: first, experience what you want to develop in yourself, and second, focus on it and keep it going to increase its consolidation in your nervous system.
