Train Your Mind Change Your Brain

Sharon Begley

A good book that deals with the relationship between neuroscience and Buddhism. The book’s main premise is that it’s possible to change the structure and function of the brain therefore altering how we think and feel. Begley shows us that the brain structure is not fixed in stone and can undergo dramatic physical changes, even changing the actual neurons. By studying Buddhist monks, the author shows the power of focused attention (mindfulness) in changing dramatically the physical function of the brain, allowing wholesale change that heals trauma and compensates for disability.
