What is Just One Thing?

I’m Dr. Rick Hanson, and I’ve spent decades gathering research, teaching, and creating practices to help people just like you turn everyday experiences into a powerful sense of lasting well-being that stays with you… even when life gets really challenging.

I’ve worked as a clinical psychologist, written books, created online courses, led online meditation groups, co-hosted a podcast, and started a global coalition for compassion… all with the goal of helping people take charge of who they are becoming.

Just One Thing is a free newsletter I offer that gives you a single thing to focus on each week. I hope you’ll join me in changing just a little bit for the better each day.
