Richie Davidson: Neuroplasticity is the discovery that our brain continues to change throughout our lifetime. He says we're very poor predictors of what will make us happy, such as buying a new Tesla or going on a vacation. But internal changes like mindfulness and compassion can re-architect your brain, he says. Davidson: Long-term meditators' brains grow bigger and stronger when they focus on happiness.
