Free the Mind background

Free the Mind

A pioneering neuroscientist, driven by the teachings of the Dalai Lama, employs scientific inquiry to investigate the mechanisms of compassion and altruism, building upon his previous research on depression and anxiety.

Professor Richard Davidson, a leading neuroscientist, was inspired by the Dalai Lama to study compassion and kindness through rigorous methods, applying them to Tibetan meditation practices. The results of his studies at the University of Wisconsin's Center for Investigating Healthy Minds are showcased in Free the Mind, exploring the treatment of PTSD in Iraqi vets and ADHD in children through mental practices.
