Book Reviews of Train Your Mind, Change Your Brain: How a New Science Reveals Our Extraordinary Potential to Transform Ourselves

Book Review: Clearly written guide to the neuroscientific evidence for our ability to train our minds to create health and happiness
Summary: 5 Stars

This book presents, clearly and factually, the growing evidence for our ability to train our minds to bring about lasting changes in physical and psychological health and wellbeing.

Read about fascinating research into the neuroscience of 'mindfulness', instigated by the Mind Life Institute, which encourages dialogue between meditators and the scientific community.

The concept of 'neuroplasticity' - the ability of our brains to create new neural pathways - has enormous hope for the treatment of depression and for recovery from stroke and other traumas.

More importantly, it has implications for the way that we use our brains in everyday life and for the current trend towards a 'science' of happiness.
