Neuroscience now reveals how the flow of thoughts actually sculpt the brain, and more and more, we are learning that it's possible to strengthen positive brain states. By combining breakthroughs in science with insights from thousands of years of mindfulness practice, you too can shape your own \"Buddha's Brain\" for greater happiness, love, and wisdom. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eBuddha's Brain\u003c\/i\u003e draws on evidence-based neuroscience to show you how to stimulate your brain for more fulfilling relationships, a deeper spiritual life, and a greater sense of inner confidence and self-worth.
