Being Well with Forrest Hanson and Dr. Rick Hanson

I recently had to have some dental work done and, dreading it, decided to bring my AirPods. Did I choose ambient music? An engrossing audiobook? I chose Being Well— for even though I could barely follow the topic over the drilling, I find the warmth and enthusiasm between these two soothing, affirming, and inspiring, no matter the content. This is not to overemphasize the delivery; I have gained great wisdom from their well-researched and conducted interviews. Thanks, Rick and Forrest: I’m fully taking in the good here.

Hosts are able to explain and clarify many ideas and tools that are useful. I enjoy he interaction between the father and son and their excellent guests. I love that they don’t put themselves above the human condition, they are relatable as well as being incredibly smart about the stuff we all go through. Thank you!

We love these podcasts. The dynamic between Dr. Rick and Forrest is easy and delightful and each offers unique perspectives that the other welcomes. The topics help us develop skills to be more mindful, compassionate and self-aware. Personally, I’m very grateful for these two experts sharing their knowledge. Their guests are always so insightful and the conversations engaging, relevant and applicable to help me in my relationships and experiences. I do believe they’re cultivating kindness and I am a better person for listening. This podcast renews my love of podcasts and social media!

Mr. Hanson has a bachelors but talks as if he is an expert in psychoanalysis, psychology, and interpersonal relationships. I listened to 3 of his podcasts— pretty much a waste of my time. If you find Rick Hanson’s talks thought provoking he has weekly talks . Listen to them.
