The Best of You Episode 74: The Neurobiology of Hope and How to Find Hope in Hard Times with Dr. Curt Thompson
I am so thrilled to have my friend, Dr. Curt Thompson, on the podcast today. I have been deeply transformed by Curt’s work, and in today's conversation, Curt breathes fresh life into a topic that is too easily tossed around and oversimplified—Hope.
We take a deep dive into the intricacies of hope from a neurobiological, relational, and spiritual perspective. It's a must listen for anyone going through hard times.
Here's what we unpack in our conversation:
* What's happening inside our brains when we hope? (11:59)
* Steps you can take in daily life to foster hope (17:55)
* The link between hope and secure attachment (15:35)
* How we embody and become hope for one another (21:04)
* Reimagining hope in today’s world (22:41)
Check out Curt's new book The Deepest Place.
