I stumbled on a free video series on the brain, habits, healing, etc. I missed the first two weeks but signed up anyway. (I also took only the free version, and will miss the end of every video, as I already have another online commitment the same days. I'm also lucky enough right now to have free time in the afternoon.)

Here's a blurb from this week's webinar. One of the presenters is Kelly McGonigal of The Willpower Instinct fame, though on one of the pages, it shows her picture but the caption says Rick Hanson!
