How to Make the Most out of 2022

Today on Being Well, Dr. Rick Hanson and I reflect on 2021, and how to put ourselves in the best position to get something valuable out of 2022. We discuss how to rest in our aspirations, claim identity-based change, reframe personal narratives, and generally form habits that lead to a more grounded, meaningful life.
