Buddha's Brain
Science is now revealing how the flow of thoughts actually sculpts the brain. Drawing on current findings in neuroscience and insights from thousands of years of Buddhist contemplative practice this book shows how our neurological functions shape our experience of the world and what we can do to positively influence the development of our brain. It teaches effective ways to deal with difficult states of mind, including stress, low mood, distractibility, relationship issues, anxiety, sorrow and anger. But the main focus is on positive well-being, psychological growth and spiritual practice. The language is clear and straight-forward while the layout contributes to the book's ease of use - an explanation of brain function in a particular area followed by practical exercises to influence it and with a list of key points at the end of each chapter. There is an interesting section on how to support brain function with skilful nutrition.
