Self-Directed Brain Change is based on a key emerging insight from neuroscience: that to keep our ancestors alive, the human brain evolved to stick to negative experiences like Velcro and shrug off the positive ones like Teflon. The good news, teaches Rick Hanson, is that we can retrain our neural structure out of "sheer survival" mode and into one of greater well-being, mental clarity, and moment-to-moment appreciation.

Story
The ancient Toltecs believed that life, as we perceive it, is a dream. We each live in our own personal dream, and these come together to form the dream of the planet, or the world in which we live. Problems arise when our perception of the dream becomes clouded with negativity, drama, and judgment (of ourselves and others), because it's in these moments of suffering that we have forgotten that we are the architects of our own reality and we have the power to change our dream if we choose.

Just before Christmas in 1843, a debt-ridden and dispirited Charles Dickens wrote a small book he hoped would keep his creditors at bay. His publisher turned it down, so Dickens used what little money he had to put out A Christmas Carol himself. He worried it might be the end of his career as a novelist. The book immediately caused a sensation. And it breathed new life into a holiday that had fallen into disfavor, undermined by lingering Puritanism and the cold modernity of the Industrial Revolution.

Self-Directed Brain Change is based on a key emerging insight from neuroscience: that to keep our ancestors alive, the human brain evolved to stick to negative experiences like Velcro and shrug off the positive ones like Teflon. The good news, teaches Rick Hanson, is that we can retrain our neural structure out of "sheer survival" mode and into one of greater well-being, mental clarity, and moment-to-moment appreciation.

Would you try another book from Rick Hanson and Rick Mendius and/or Rick Hanson and Rick Mendius ?

Would you recommend Meditations to Change Your Brain to your friends? Why or why not?
Depends on when they want to use it. Three quarters of the way through it has some obnoxious chimes that make me jump out of my skin after being very relaxed.

A SHOT OF ENDORPHINS FOR THE BRAIN
When I need any kind of a lift, I listen to these remarkable meditations and the commonsense explanations of why this brain science is so important. I put them on when I go to sleep at night and wake up with a smile. I could have saved myself years of therapy if I had had access to this wonderful knowledge. I think this is a true work of love and one of the most useful approaches to the bleak inner and outer landscapes we live.

Quiet, thought proviking and calming
Where does Meditations to Change Your Brain rank among all the audiobooks you???ve listened to so far?
With more than 500 audio books it would be difficult to answer that question. However of the several Buddhist and self-help books, this on is in the top 1/3. I have already re-listened to this one three times. It's short yet not without power.
Try it, you'll like it.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Doesn't apply
What do you think the narrator could have done better?
Yes with better voices, it would have been better. The readers sounded knowledgable and sincere. A professional reader could of done more.
What???s an idea from the book that you will remember?
Breath and give yourself some credit.
Any additional comments?
Good work guys.

Absolutely effective
What made the experience of listening to Meditations to Change Your Brain the most enjoyable?
What was most enjoyable was the narration by the authors. The authors made the book therapeutic. They gave each section the imperative view point necessary for the listener to hone in and listen intently!
What was one of the most memorable moments of Meditations to Change Your Brain?
The most memorable moment was the meditation activities ! This book must be obtained as an audible version I cannot imagine it would be beneficial in paper form.
What about Rick Hanson and Rick Mendius ’s performance did you like?
I enjoyed the professional respectability and authority each Dr. Presented. This was not an ego, battle , it was team work with one goal in mind which is to help the reader develop these new skills!
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
If I were to make a movie of this book, I would not change it's title, I would add a sub title , Meditation to change your brain and your mind!
Any additional comments?
Rarely do I encounter a book that I am motivated to complete in one sit that has made profound changes in my life. This book is something I cam apply to my life and I have. The concepts have given me the courage to continue with the personal work I have accomplished. I am a health care professional and I would recommend this book to my clients!

Interesting
I found the content in this book interesting, but confess I didn't finish it. The downside to me was that the mediations are including in the general narration so it made it pretty much impossible to find them again after the fact. It would have liked them to be perhaps a separate chapter on their own.
