BORN TO FLOURISH

BORN TO FLOURISH draws on neuroscience and psychological research to show that flourishing is actually a skill, four skills to be exact - awareness, insight, connection, and purpose - and teach us simple practices designed to cultivate them.

The audience for Angela Duckworth's Grit and Judson Brewer's Unwinding Anxiety will be drawn to the message of living well and performing at a high level despite anxiety and stress, and readers of Waldinger and Schulz's The Good Life will be attracted to a research-based book on how to live a rich and full life. Dr. Davidson is the New York Times bestselling coauthor of The Emotional Life of Your Brain. He is the recipient of numerous awards, including the most distinguished award for science given by the American Psychological Association, and he was named one of the 100 most influential people in the world by Time magazine in 2006. His vast body of research from the internationally renowned Center for Healthy Minds at The University of Wisconsin, Madison, where Dr. Dahl also works, has revealed extraordinary insight into our ability to flourish. Dr. Davidson and Dr. Dahl are the creators of the Healthy Minds Program, a groundbreaking program to cultivate well-being. The Healthy Minds Program app, which allows the general public to access this program for free, was recently selected by the New York Times as one of their top three recommended meditation apps.
