Product Description

Product Description
Discover how your brain is physically changed by what you do and think. How education moulds your brain, growing new connections between brain cells, building brain power, and proving it's not all down to genetics.

From the Author
What you do, feel and think physically changes your brain.
What you do and think physically changes your brain. You have the ability - literally - to remake yourself. As a human being, you are unique in the created world in being able to shrug off some of the biological shackles imposed by evolution. There is an awesome freedom for human minds. In Mind Sculpture , I describe a scientific revolution in our understanding of how the brain is moulded by experience right into old age. In so doing, I point to the untapped potential that exists in all human brains. Here are some key points from Mind Sculpture:

* Your brain is physically changed by what you do, see, feel and think

* You can become physically stronger from the comfort of your armchair by carrying out mental exercises in your imagination

* Such mental practice physically changes your brain

* Education physically moulds the brain, growing new connections between brain cells

* Education builds brain power - it's not all down to genes.

* The more education in your life that you have, the less likely you are to suffer from dementia in old age.

* Talking to babies builds their intelligence

* Teaching children to read properly physically changes their brains

* Severe fear and stress can cause brain cells to shrink or even die.

* Learning to play a musical instrument as a child enlarges the left side of your brain and improves your memory

* Keeping mentally active as you get older keeps your brain working better

* Love grows the brain

5.0 out of 5 stars Exceptionally good insight into how the mind works, 26 Mar 2002
By Spike "Spike" (Outer Hebrides) - See all my reviews
The book that taught me 'What wires together fires together'. Since reading this I have read many 'mind' type books - this remains one of my favourite. Very well written and understandable. Recommended to anyone interested in the mind, from layman to would-be psychotherapist.

4.0 out of 5 stars A PMA book that discusses the mechanics, not the theory, 26 May 1999
By A Customer
I am eager to buy good PMA books - but there is such a lot to choose from on the bookshelves these days....and not all are good reading. This weekend I browsed the shelves of Stansted Airport's bookshop and noticed Mind Scultpture. Intrigued by the text on the rear cover, I bought it...and haven't put it down since. Mind Sculpture is a fascinating insight into what actually makes us tick. It explains things like why "what the mind can conceive and believe it can achieve" (Napolean Hill). I have a 7 month old baby boy, and Mind Sculpture gave me a new perspective on what's going to go on in this little guy's mind as he grows and learns. Fascinating book, especially if you want to understand the mechanics of our brains rather than the theory behind PMA.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant book, if you are interested in how the brain works! , 20 April 2007
By Khalid Aziz "Khalid Aziz" (Winchester, Hampshire, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
If you are interested in how the brain works in terms of output rather than sheer
mechanics then this book is a very good canter around the course.
At times it can be a little academic but it contains interesting insights not only into the
way the mind functions but how we can actually alter our mind state. This might be of
particular interest to those keen to improve their mental faculties and general well-being
in order to achieve more. Certainly the final few chapters throw into sharp perspective
the way in which the brain and mind can serve us better if we only take the right
decisions.
