00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.360
Neuroplasticity is simply a
word that refers to the fact
2
00:00:04.360 --> 00:00:08.439
that the brain changes in
response to experience
3
00:00:08.439 --> 00:00:10.119
and in response to training.
4
00:00:10.119 --> 00:00:14.919
The brain is constantly being
shaped wittingly or unwittingly.
5
00:00:14.919 --> 00:00:18.839
And most of the time I think the brain
is being shaped unwittingly.
6
00:00:18.839 --> 00:00:21.640
Most of the time we are unaware
7
00:00:21.640 --> 00:00:25.039
of all the forces around us
which are shaping our brain.
8
00:00:25.039 --> 00:00:28.000
And the invitation
in the work that we do
9
00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:33.000
is simply that we can all
take more responsibility
10
00:00:33.000 --> 00:00:35.679
for the shaping of our own brains.
11
00:00:35.679 --> 00:00:38.399
If we cultivate healthy habits of mind,
12
00:00:38.399 --> 00:00:42.079
we know from hard nosed
neuroscientific research
13
00:00:42.079 --> 00:00:45.719
that the intentional
cultivation of these positive
14
00:00:45.719 --> 00:00:49.560
qualities of the mind
can actually change the brain
15
00:00:49.560 --> 00:00:53.920
in ways that will enable
well-being and other positive
16
00:00:53.920 --> 00:00:59.399
qualities like compassion and
generosity to endure.
