Publisher's summary

A manual for relating to the brain in a revolutionary new way, Super Brain explains how to use your brain as a gateway for achieving health, happiness, and spiritual growth. The authors are two pioneers: best-selling author and physician Deepak Chopra and Harvard Medical School professor Rudolph E. Tanzi, one of the world's foremost experts on the causes of Alzheimer’s. They have merged their wisdom and expertise for a bold new understanding of the “three-pound universe” and its untapped potential.

In contrast to the “baseline brain” that fulfills the tasks of everyday life, Chopra and Tanzi propose that, through a person’s increased self-awareness and conscious intention, the brain can be taught to reach far beyond its present limitations. “We are living in a golden age for brain research, but is this a golden age for your brain?” they ask.

Super Brain explains how it can be, by combining cutting-edge research and spiritual insights, demolishing the five most widespread myths about the brain that limit your potential, and then showing you methods to:

• Use your brain instead of letting it use you
• Create the ideal lifestyle for a healthy brain
• Reduce the risks of aging
• Promote happiness and well-being through the mind-body connection
• Access the enlightened brain, the gateway to freedom and bliss
• Overcome the most common challenges, such as memory loss, depression, anxiety, and obesity

Your brain is capable of incredible healing and constant reshaping. Through a new relationship with your brain you can transform your life. In Super Brain, Chopra and Tanzi guide you on a fascinating journey that envisions a leap in human evolution. The brain is not just the greatest gift that Nature has given us. It’s the gateway to an unlimited future that you can begin to live today.

Awesome!

I loved it. I listened to certain parts over and over. Glad that I learned from it also.

A lot of concepts to follow

If you could sum up Super Brain in three words, what would they be?

Brain mind different

Would you be willing to try another book from Rudolph E. Tanzi and Deepak Chopra ? Why or why not?

Yes. I would prefer to wait a while as it will take a long time to get a handle on the multiplicity of multifarious concepts in this book.

Did Shishir Kurup do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?

This was not a book based on characters.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No.

Namaste

Thank you both for sharing what you are learning so we all can grow closer.

Namaste

I did learn a few things…

…but near the end, this book goes into a new reality and, at least to me, contradicted itself in its arguments.
While I was glad to learn a little more about brain plasticity and Alzheimer’s, the rest of the book was something I did not agree with (despite saying that they were not pushing any particular spiritual belief. They did make specific statements to the contrary).

Incredibly informative!

The audio narration and information were incredible and more than what I expected! I learned a great deal and have better insight into how I can manage my life through a different lens.

Just awesome to know the ability of the brain!

If you could sum up Super Brain in three words, what would they be?

I have been studying and practice the Primordial Sound Meditation about 4 years. This book gives me more solid affirmation to meditation practice for inner peace and health. It also gives me more positive feeling and thoughts toward the recovery of my past illness. It is one my great text books now.

very interesting book!

What did you love best about Super Brain?

Very well organized; covered a lot of ground with regards to neuroscience and integration of the mind/body connection

Really useful material

What made the experience of listening to Super Brain the most enjoyable?

Chopra's wonderful presentations together with neuroscience matters, quite useful and enjoyable.

What other book might you compare Super Brain to and why?

Ageless Body, Timeless Mind: The Quantum Alternative to Growing Old

What about Shishir Kurup’s performance did you like?

Very natural, easy to follow...

Awaken your awareness

Best book out of 32 so far this year. Thank you Deepak and Rudy for this handbook of real knowledge. Marrying science and spirit. Thank you for your efforts and your ability to capture elusive thoughts in a very conceptual manner.

A book for everyone.

Tremendous potential of knowledge needed to solve the world's problems. Should be a required reading in all schools of the world.
