BUDDHA'S BRAIN The Practical Neuroscience of Happiness, Love & Wisdom

The meeting between Buddhism and neuroscience has been explored a lot recently. Scientists are working with practitioners of meditation to find how techniques developed thousands of years ago can help people improve their moods, manage pain, and change their behavior. While some of the physiological concepts can be a bit hard to follow, narrator Alan Bomar Jones narrates at just the right speed so the information doesn't hit a bottleneck between your ears and brain. His reading is friendly and calm, and he makes the big questions more accessible. Listeners can certainly benefit from this discussion of how the brain works and learn how meditation can help us understand suffering, happiness, love, and wisdom.
