very interesting

I am now on my second listen of Meditations to Change your Brain. The first time I just listened and took notes. Now I am going back and completing the meditations as I listen. I find it very interesting. I have no doubt it will work. Must think positively!

Life Changing

excellent in linking neuroscience with meditation

my favourite audible. Wonderfully explains the science behind meditation and how we can benefit from it.

one of the best

I've been meditating for over twenty years and this is one of the best i've heard. One of the things I loved about this narration is it doesn't break into the loud nerve jangling music. Another thing that sets this apart from the rest is he teaches you to rewire your responses in simple to follow, very effective terms. Highly educational information on the brain & how to change it.

let me out of this app####!

wonderful books lousy app. can't believe how hard it is to shut down. hate the app. love the book.

I enjoyed this book

This Book was nice and well Put . some how the Meditations in this book are very relaxing
and they do a great job.

I do think that this book was a little bit to short . Or it could be that i just had too much fun .

Thanks

Very detailed! Very good!!!

This book has a lot of information, very in depth and enjoyable to work with! The narrator does meditations very well!

TBI

This book is wonderful. I'm a head injury survivor who's desperate to reclaim parts of my life before my accident changed everything. This book is helping do this life long task. It's playing a crucial role in me having a life and it's far more effective than the medications I've been prescribed.

A Great Meditation Starter

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

For people of all faiths, this is a lovely introduction to mindfulness.

If you have been thinking about getting on the "mindful" train, this book explains why and how meditation can help reduce stress, break up old, negative thought patterns you thought you had to live with forever, and, overall, enhance your life.

I have recommended and/or purchased this book for many of my friends who are interested in learning more about the positive benefits of meditation and mindfulness.

This is an excellent companion to Dan Siegel's MINDSIGHT, Christopher Germer's excellent THE MINDFUL PATH TO SELF-COMPASSION, BUDDHISM FOR BUSY PEOPLE, and anything by Jon Kabat-Zinn.

I am a long-time meditator and often use the guided meditations in this audio if I'm having trouble with the monkey mind and want a little "re-grouping" to my practice. Whether leaning toward Buddhism, wanting to use mindfulness as a compliment to your established religious preferences, or simply wanting to become a fuller human in this oh-so-wonderfull-yet fraught world, this is a great book. Very inspiring toward being more aware, being kinder, being more forgiving. Especially to yourself!
