Would you like a guided tour through research on how the brain works? This book is one of about eight published in 2018 that you might find exciting. I’m drawn to this topic because reading about neuroplasticity – the brain’s ability to change its structure and patterns of activity – fills me with optimism. Researchers no longer believe that periods of great growth and change in our brains are limited to childhood. Further, they have found that people who meditate long-term may be able to slow age-related degeneration. Just think: to some extent, we can choose the future we want to create.
