Buddha's brain : the practical neuroscience of happiness, love & wisdom

Hanson, Rick (Psychologist) (author.). Mendius, Richard, (author.).

Summary: "The Buddha and other great teachers were born with brains built essentially like anyone else's--and then they changed their brains in ways that changed the world. Science is now revealing how the flow of thoughts actually sculpts the brain. By combining breakthroughs in neuroscience with insights from thousands of years of contemplative practice, you, too, can use your mind to shape your brain for greater happiness, love, and wisdom."--
