Greate also working backwards. In other words, u what would be good if it were happening more inside you? And one of the traits that i'm working on is to just become less bothered by stuff. I still see it, i still deal with it, but to be just at peace about it,. To have some sense of emotional balance about its. O so we start with whatever we want to grow. And now the simple part, how do you grow it? How Do You Grow It? Is a weekly podcast hosted by CNN Radio's John Sutter and produced in association with The Center for Spiritual Development.

One of the most important skills we can develop is learning how to learn–how to update old beliefs about ourselves, take in new information, and build psychological resources like courage, gratitude, and confidence. We have experiences from which we could potentially learn all the time, but how often are we able to actually implement lasting change from our positive experiences?

On this episode of Being Well, Dr. Rick and Forrest Hanson dive into Rick’s recently published study on our capacity for deliberate growth. We talk a bit about the neurological components of learning, how the study worked, and what the practical takeaways are to help us make learning stick.
