TRAIN YOUR MIND, CHANGE YOUR BRAIN How a New Science Reveals Our Extraordinary Potential to Transform Ourselves

Dense with fascinating research findings on human potential, this fusion of psychological, spiritual, and neuroscientific approaches to growth is a perfect fit with the no-nonsense interpretative skills of Eliza Foss, one of the most mature and insightful narrators working in this genre today. The title is a well-written overview of how people can become more intellectually open, less suspicious and violent, less addictive or impulsive, and more skilled in complex motor sequences. What we discover from within, the author says, is more powerful than what's imposed on us by organized religions. The technical writing in this smooth abridgment is balanced by vivid accounts of the personalities and locations associated with the research. Sensitive writing about love, security, and compassion also softens the lesson. T.W. © AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine [Published: FEB/ MAR 08]
