Join our informal discussions of books about the mind and the brain, positive psychology and consciousness. We'll explore many daily implications of recent brain research that can help us accelerate positive change, cultivate a healthy mind and brain, and create long-lasting improvements in our lives.
Some topics to explore:
* How neuroplasticity enables us to rewire our brain with proper attention;
* Why our brains are wired to resist change and how we can overcome that resistance;
* How to apply specific brain-based strategies to develop new positive habits and increase well-being;
* How to improve memory, awareness, and creativity;
* How to accelerate learning and maintain vibrant and healthy brains throughout our lives.
During our Nov. 5 meetup, "How the Mind Works" by Steven Pinker was chosen as our next book.
Drawing upon theory and research from a variety of disciplines (most notably cognitive science and evolutionary biology), Steven Pinker, a popular cognitive scientist/linguist, explores what the mind is, how it evolved,and how it allows us to see, think, feel and ponder the mysteries of life.
