“Like a lot of people, I’ve always been interested in how to be happy,” says Rick Hanson in a video introducing the series. “What’s really engaged me is to try to find answers to that question in the three pounds of tofu inside the coconut.”
The free conference series will discuss ways to change our thinking around romantic relationships, sexuality, family life, how to raise children, and how to work out struggles with others.
There will be weekly hour-long interviews with seven guests, including Tara Brach, a long-time meditation practitioner and founder of the Insight Meditation Community of Washington, and Christine Carter, a parent coach and author of Raising Happiness: 10 Simple Steps for More Joyful Kids and Happier Parents. You can watch the interviews live or through the conference archives.

He also has several audio programs on his website, looking at how we can train the brain for mindful presence and letting go.
