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.

Although covering relatively complex neuro principles, the theory was quite easy to follow as was the link to behaviours, emotions, responses etc.

Amazing book, well written, I've learnt so much about how we work, how survival mode dictates everything and how to turn off the negative. Life is so much easier, wish I had read this book years ago.

2.0 out of 5 stars Ok but not for everyone.

Not really a good book for those that don’t know a lot about the anatomy of the brain. Struggled to relate to some of the neurological concepts. It’s fine when there is explanations as to what happens but all in all I’d give it a pass. There are better books to be read.

I've been into neuroscience and meditation for a while now, and this book is one of the best I've ever read. It's clear, useful, mind-opening... I'd recommend it to everyone interested in this matter, or even someone looking for something fun to read.
