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.

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

I recommend the audiobook because it contains scads of useful information that anyone can apply to improve their brain power and ultimately their lives.

Good intro to mind body connection.

Good book but it sure had a lot of repeated info..overall helpful and recommend listening.

Don't cheat yourself out of this book!

FULL of enlightenment and wisdom. Almost didn't write this review because I wanted to skip straight to relistening to the last chapters. Download if you're ready for a better understanding of the mind. I'm going to listen to it again now. Cheers!

Repetitive and Boring

What did you like best about Super Brain? What did you like least?

The book was boring because there was nothing new. It is simplistic and general in scope. I agree with the majority of it but I was looking for some Ah Ha moments but there were none. It was common sense but unfortunately people do not always follow common sense.

Finally over!

Which scene was your favorite?

N/A

Was Super Brain worth the listening time?

No

Any additional comments?

Like many books it could easily be written in 10 pages.

nice and easy accessible

the parts I took away:

are you using your brain or is your brain using you?

the examples that demonstrate the power of the mind to influence the brain and its workings on the body

the excerpts/quotes from other scientists

for my liking a little bit too much Sanskrit and Alzheimer's which in light of the authors' expertise is to be expected.

overall really liked the book and the performance of the narrator

it helped me to strengthen my pursuit in healing

Another great one!!!
