Buddha's Brain: The Practical Neuroscience of Happiness, Love & Wisdom [B0281]

2009 PB. If you change your brain, you can change your life. Great teachers like the Buddha, Jesus, Moses, Mohammed, and Gandhi were all born with brains built essentially like anyone else's?and then they changed their brains in ways that changed the world. Science is now revealing how the flow of thoughts actually sculpts the brain, and more and more, we are learning that it's possible to strengthen positive brain states. By combining breakthroughs in neuroscience with insights from thousands of years of mindfulness practice, you too can use your mind to shape your brain for greater happiness, love, and wisdom.

From recent Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "A rich bounty of wisdom. This book was a wonderful accompaniment to my search for more mindfulness in the midst of my anxiety. I could easily read this book 2 or 3 more times and get even more out of it. I recommend this book for anyone who wants to cultivate an understanding of mindfulness, and put it into practice."; "Okay, I get it now. I've been meditating for the last six months and have noticed myself changing psychologically. The book has helped me understand this change from a biological/neurological perspective and has given me confidence to keep going further along the Buddhist path."
