What did you love best about The Neuroscience of Change?

Tying the science and wisdom traditions gives weight to the theses in the book. By referencing each disparate area, Dr. McGonigal provides insights that appeal to both the spiritual and the logical.

What other book might you compare The Neuroscience of Change to and why?

I bought this because I really enjoyed Dr. McGonigal's, "The Willpower Instinct". That book was one of the few audio books I've purchased that I considered substantial enough to also want the hard copy. I have also given that book as gifts.

Have you listened to any of the narrator’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I know other reviewers have give Dr. McGonigal low marks for her reading. Perhaps it could have been improved upon. I have not heard her narrate other books, but I thought she did a fabulous job in the TED talk.

What did you learn from The Neuroscience of Change that you would use in your daily life?

The meditations and reflections are particularly helpful.

Do you want to know why you can't be present?

It's about time some has told me exactly why I struggle with being stuck in the past and future and never present to participate in the present. Kelly hit it right in the nail head!!!!!
