Product Description
Product Description
Using case histories and practical examples, this text demonstrates that the human brain is constantly remoulded by experience and interaction, a discovery which provides the message that humans can actively influence who they are and what they think.
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:
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
