Richie Davidson on the Science of Joy • Mission: JOY • Documentary Excerpt

A lot of ancient wisdom about JOY has been confirmed by the latest neuroscience! At the encouragement of His Holiness the Dalai Lama, scientist Richie Davidson at the University of Wisconsin-Madison uses the same tools he uses to study depression and anxiety to instead study kindness and compassion. Watch, then sign up for the BIG JOY project to find out which act of JOY works best for you! https://missionjoy.org/bigjoy/

Mission: JOY is a film that shares the humor and wisdom of two of the world’s most beloved icons, His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu.

These two Nobel Peace Prize Laureates have united for one final mission: to show the world how to live with joy, even in troubled times. And they know what they are talking about. They have both lived through extreme hardship, and continued to live with joy despite their circumstances.

We’re not making this stuff up! Neuroscience backs up ancient wisdom and tells us exactly what to do to feel more joy right away! Check out the research that shows us how to create more joy: https://missionjoy.org/science/
