    I came to this site after a recommendation to look up Richard Davidson’s meditation studies. But surprise, surprise, it’s all just an attempt to sell you something. In other words, a scam. How very disappointing. 🙁

    Thank you for insights to awareness,connectio, insight and purpose, and to compassion and empathy. Will keep these in mind trying to help students toward resilience.

    The differentiation between compassion and empathy helped me appreciate that I can care about someone without living that person’s adversities. This is freeing for me, and I appreciate it. I also appreciate Dr. Dzung’s gift for using limited time to get to the heart of the topics with his interviewers. I am grateful to have learned so much in such a short time from Richard Davidson. Thank you.

    I read your book The Emotional Life of Your Brain, while completing the year long Certification process at Mindful Schools. Chris, Megan, Vinnie, Pam, and Oren were committed to this amazing process of self oriented organization. You helped to neatly tie all the pieces together for me so that I am able to effectively and with Mindful awareness of the profound change this can bring to the human experience! Thank you, sir!

    Thank you so much for share your knowledge! I’m fascinated with mindfulness from few years ago, since I practice at the beach, being more aware of myself, teaching strategies to my patients and ended with my bad migraines.
    I’m a Mental Health counselor, and want to share With you that after working 10 years with suffered populations, I learned that Love, compassion, and teaching ways of safety were the keys to build resilience on kids!!! Thank you again..

    Thanks for such extraordinary presentation! I agree with you,Mindfulness is like preparing to run the marathon, you need to train every day! And should be incorporated into our daily life routines.Good we are incorporating this in the schools and in the curriculum, along with professional development for teachers, etc.
    Greetings from Mexico!
