Far from being set in stone, mental well-being can be cultivated through intentional mental training. In a paper for the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Cortland Dahl, PhD, and his co-authors offered a unifying framework that integrates well-being research, cognitive and affective neuroscience, and clinical psychology.

In this Mental Health Minute, Dahl discusses his paper and its clinical implications.
