Teaching Neuroscience. Transforming Lives.

Good Wolf is a new nonprofit organization dedicated to harnessing the power of our brains to improve our lives.

Why Are We Called Good WOLF?

There is a story attributed to the Indigenous peoples of North America.

It says there are two wolves that live inside each of us – a good wolf and a bad wolf.
