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.

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.

Definitely a useful book!

We all go buzzing around our daily routines not giving a thought (no pun intended) about how the busy brain affects our bodies and our day to day living. This book presented complex issues clearly along with methods and simple techniques to assist with quieting overactivity between the ears and methods for improving perception performance. Good read, and well worth the time spent listening.

It definitely works

What made the experience of listening to Meditations to Change Your Brain the most enjoyable?

Though the theory part is a bit longer that it might be, the meditations simply work. I usually listen to this book while walking with my kids (while they sleep in a baby carriage) and return from these walks inspired and in a good mood. One meditation "charges" me for a couple of days and when I feel overwhelmed with daily routine I tune in to the book and recharge :)

Any additional comments?

It would be cool if the book had a preset list of meditations with their descriptions. And I believe that brain related information could be collected in one chapter for those who want to get deep into the details.

Scientific

Would you consider the audio edition of Meditations to Change Your Brain to be better than the print version?

Thisi s a good audio to learn about how your brain works and some scientific information about the brain. It helps to teach you how to change the synapsis through meditation.

Incredibly boring

What would have made Meditations to Change Your Brain better?

Fewer golf references. I get that the author wanted to hinge the book around a real life story, but golf? Puh-lease.

What could Rick Hanson and Rick Mendius have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

No golf stories and a less monotone narration.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

When you put people to sleep, you know you've got a problem.
