Buddha's Brain: The Practical Neuroscience of Happiness, Love, and Wisdom is a book I have been reading, enjoying, and recommending to colleagues. This morning the book came to my attention twice (in addition to seeing it on my nightstand). A recommendation of the book came over a listserv for scholarly discussion of mindfulness, and I see that the author Rick Hanson, Ph.D., will be interviewed tomorrow at BlogTalkRadio. From that Web site:
Rick Hanson's latest book, "Buddha's Brain" is soaring through the charts. And for good reason! You are what you think. How can you take control of your thinking to better your business and life? Nothing's hard wired. What steps do you need to take to reprogram your brain to achieve your vision? Listen to PH.D. Rick Hanson, neuropsychologist fill us with practical insights, tools and skills that will help us tap into our own brain center.
The book has some good information about the brain, as well as some exercises for changing that organ. You do not need to be a Buddhist or even spiritual to gain practical insight from the reading.
