Three Things You Can Really Count On In Turbulent Times with Rick Hanson

These days, a lot of people feel like the ground is shifting underneath them — politically, personally, even physically as we grow older and life changes around us. In this talk, I explore three things we can still truly count on: our good intentions, our capacity to learn and grow, and the deeper wisdom we know in our bones to be true. Along the way, I reflect on basic goodness, beginner’s mind, skillful correction instead of shame, and a few simple questions we can ask ourselves to find steadiness in an uncertain world.

Key Points:
0:00 — What Can We Truly Count On?
3:02 — Trusting Your Good Intentions
15:34 — Becoming a Learner
20:40 — Skillful Correction vs. Shame
23:46 — Changing Your View of Yourself
28:33 — What Do You Know Is True?
34:31 — Letting the Good News Sink In
39:08 — Three Questions for Your Life
