May 2007 Salon
From Mastery of Learning
May 31 4 Book Salon for Curious Readers
Train Your Mind, Change Your Brain
How a New Science Reveals Our Extraordinary Potential to Transform Ourselves
by Sharon Begley
Sharon Begley is a science columnist for The Wall Street Journal. She was co-author of The Mind and the Brain, a previous Salon book. She makes the information easy to read and accessible for the average reader.
This is the second salon in our three-part series on neuroplasticity.
Why bother to read it?
This is an accessible, meaningful, and compelling look at our new understanding of how the brain and mind interact. These are findings from a meeting between western neuroscientists and the Dalai Lama. They addressed the question, “Is it possible to change the structure and function of the brain, and in doing so alter the way we think and feel?” In short, the answer is yes. This is a good companion book to April’s Salon book, Evolve Your Brain.
