If you change your brain, you can change your life.Great teachers like the Buddha, Jesus, Moses, Mohammed, and Gandhi were all 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, and more and more, we are learning that it's possible to strengthen positive brain states.By combining breakthroughs in neuroscience with insights from thousands of years of mindfulness practice, you too can use your mind to shape your brain for greater happiness, love, and wisdom. Buddha's Brain draws on the latest research to show how to stimulate your brain for more fulfilling relationships, a deeper spiritual life, and a greater sense of inner confidence and worth. Using guided meditations and mindfulness exercises, you'll learn how to activate the brain states of calm, joy, and compassion instead of worry, sorrow, and anger. Most importantly, you will foster positive psychological growth that will literally change the way you live in your day-to-day life.This book presents an unprecedented intersection of psychology, neurology, and contemplative practice, and is filled with practical tools and skills that you can use every day to tap the unused potential of your brain and rewire it over time for greater well-being and peace of mind.

The main author of this book is a neuropsychologist by the name of Rick Hanson. Being a brain doctor, he is very well educated on how the systems of the brain work together, along with making connections to the behaviors that humans engage in. This may seem like a typical self-help book as it discusses techniques of mindfulness, relaxation, and tips on overall bettering yourself in order to live a happier and more fulfilled life. However, Hanson goes much further into detail on these qualities. He does this by explaining the facts as to how the mindfulness and relaxation techniques work with regards to our physical neurological systems. He has written several books similar to Buddha’s Brain, has won New York’s Best Selling Author, and offers free positive neuroplasticity programs. This book discusses several simple but meaningful techniques one can use to help promote relaxation as well as awareness. The author explains the process of these techniques by describing what occurs in the brain while one is performing relaxation exercises. He also explains how positive behaviors and actions result from the exercises. Beyond that, he talks about how certain situations affect our arousal. These exercises range from simple breathing techniques to more complex mindfulness practices. The baseline of our peacefulness is guided by our parasympathetic system, which is responsible for producing a balanced state. This is our rest/digest system. There is also the SNS system, responsible for the fight/flight response. Various situations occur in our daily lives that cause us to unleash certain behaviors. Our physical state becomes altered due to certain systems being activated, such as the PNS and SNS. Performing relaxation and meditation techniques helps us reach a more balanced our state. When performing these relaxation and mindfulness techniques, the brain is at rest in a state of tranquility. The brain is complex, filled with many parts that serve different functions. One part of the brain is the pituitary gland which is responsible for producing endorphins, triggering stress hormones, and storing and releasing oxytocin. Oxytocin is the “bonding” or “love” hormone that we humans have. This hormone is the key element of our human nature; it allows us to form bonds and to feel empathy for one another. In relationships, oxytocin encourages eye contact and trust. The release of oxytocin is one way that the brain can be in a peaceful state, therefore causing you to be happy. Contrarily, the amygdala is a section in the brain that is in charge of responses to emotion, fear, and other negative stimuli. It also helps form implicit memories. These memories form primarily from negative experiences due to a defense mechanism that has been used to survive throughout human evolution. Negative experiences needed to be recalled so that we would be ready to fight in dangerous times, such as being preyed upon. This explains why we are quick to react negatively or with hostility. This also explains the origin of anxiety and aggression. Constant feelings of threat lead to feeling anxious and can lead to aggressiveness in order to fight and protect oneself. Without a doubt, we need all systems in the brain, but depending on our upbringing and our environment (nature/nurture), the way we react to certain situations differs among all humans. The happiest state of mind, according to Buddha and Hanson, the author of this book, is a state of equilitry. Neuroplasticity is the key factor here. Our brains are changeable; the number of neurons being fired together cause this mutability. Emotions are not a result of certain situations that occur but a result of the way we interpret the situation and react to it. Therefore, we have the ability to rewire our brains to react to situations mindfully, essentially making us happier in the long run. I was very pleased with the information the author has provided in this book. There are plenty of facts on the brain and its functions, and connections made to the spiritual aspect of the mind. The author describes the main parts of the brain; such as the frontal cortex, the diencephalon, the hippocampus, etc. and makes sure to connect them to the ways our body reacts in certain situations. It is important to elaborate on the functions of the complex brain. There are many self-help books that provide tons of information on mindfulness techniques and living with a happy equilibrium, but these books provide little to no detail as to how exactly this works. Rick Hanson helps readers understand how the brain essentially works as a whole unit and how certain situations impact and alter brain functions, therefore altering how we perceive the world, our moods, reactions, impulsiveness, etc. Someone who has not read the book and is unfamiliar with mindfulness techniques may think that the idea that we can change who we are by changing our brains is silly. But, after reading this book, the idea makes sense. I would definitely recommend this book to everyone, especially those who have an interest in mindfulness meditation so that they can fully understand why and how these systems are working to better their mood and outlook on life. To conclude, I give this book a 5/5 rating. Rick Hanson appears to be a well educated neuropsychologist who is good at sharing his ideas in writing that is also clear and easy to understand. He did a good job on giving brief explanations on sections of the brain and what we can do to reach that tranquil, equilibrium state of mind in order to live happier.
