Well-explained with real-life examples and synopses of current scientific research supporting the concepts under consideration. Definitely worth reading. Rating: - Very goodThis book talks about how the brain is affected by environment, the use of the body, and the mind. It is fascinating. Also, a very hopeful message in that as we train our minds to be loving our brains actually change physically. It is a very good read. Rating: - Not a howto but I liked itThe title is a little misleading but the book was fascinating anyway. Rating: - Mind your BrainFor many years it was thought that the brain could not physically evolve or change after childhood. Sharon Begley gathers the results of neurological experiments and excercises that proves not only can we change the brain (add/grow neurons, alter neural networks, re-purpose entire regions according to experiential demand) but that all of this change can start with a thought, hinting at the identity of you as the conscious "chooser" behind your neural tissue. Though a bit tedious in its languaging of laboratry significance at times, the author also has the courage to steer her focus into theambitious realm of consciousness itself. Using the framework of yearly summits on science and consciousness between leading scientists and the Dalai Lama, Begley directs our attention to the possibility of creating real change in our lives on an individual, social and global level that has the potential to change the very quality of existence which we call "life". For even more spiritual emphasis with an experiential backbone still grounded in science, check out "Evolve Your Brain" by Joe Dispenza, D.C. In association with Amazon.com | |
