How to live with the brain of a cave-man in the 21st century, is the subject of this edition of Radio Curious. We visit with Rick Hanson, Ph.D., a neuropsychologist and meditation teacher. Heâs the author of âBuddhaâs Brain: The Practical Neuroscience of Happiness, Love & Wisdom.â This book explains brain functions that affect our attitudes and happiness and presents coherent and practical skills of positive psychology which employ tenants of Buddhism.  We visited with Dr. Hanson by phone from his home in San Rafael, California on June 11, 2012. We began when I asked him ways to live in modern society with a brain that evolved over millions of years in order to function well in hunter-gatherer society.Â
The book Dr. Rick Hanson recommends is âSatepatthana: The Direct Path To Realization,â by Analayo.
