| Summary |
In this manual for relating to the brain in a revolutionary new way, the authors show readers how to use the brain as a gateway for achieving health, happiness, and spiritual growth. The authors are two pioneers: one a bestselling author and physician, and the other a Harvard Medical School professor and one of the world's foremost experts on the causes of Alzheimer's disease. In contrast to the "baseline brain" that fulfills the tasks of everyday life, they propose that, through a person's increased self-awareness and conscious intention, the brain can be taught to reach far beyond its present limitations. They contend that by using techniques and skills such as mindfulness, intention and meditation, we can create new neural pathways in the brain. |
