Buddha's Brain: The Practical Neuroscience of Happiness, Love, and Wisdom

Written at the intersection of psychology, neurology, and contemplative practice, this book offers the most effective tools for using the brain’s potential to improve your life.

• How can you understand the mechanisms of your own brain?

• How to achieve happiness, love, and wisdom?

• How to get rid of depression and aggressiveness?

Find calm, joy, and compassion in your life instead of worry, sadness, and anger. Change your brain—and you’ll change your life. Modern science provides more and more evidence that our thoughts can rewire the brain’s functioning. And the more consciously we use this, the more actively we will influence the world. Great teachers such as Buddha, Jesus, Moses, Muhammad, and Gandhi were born with the same kind of brain as ordinary people. But by changing themselves, they changed the world. This book brings together the best world practices, meditations, and exercises that will teach you how to manage your brain and change your life.
