Buddha's
Brain
The
Practical Neuroscience of Happiness, Love & Wisdom
Rick
Hanson, Ph.D.
with
Richard Mendius, MD
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. Buddha's
Brain draws on the latest research to show how to stimulate
your brain for more fulfilling relationships, a deeper spiritual
life, and a greater sense of inner confidence and worth. Using
guided meditations and mindfulness exercises, you'll learn how
to activate the brain states of calm, joy, and compassion instead
of worry, sorrow, and anger. Most importantly, you will foster
positive psychological growth that will literally change the way
you live in your day-to-day life.
This
book presents an unprecedented intersection of psychology, neurology,
and contemplative practice, and is filled with practical tools
and skills that you can use every day to tap the unused potential
of your brain and rewire it over time for greater well-being and
peace of mind.
