This is a resource that integrates centuries of bright minds, a collage of perspectives and rich discussion leading to optimizing human potential. The authors have unpacked the imperative beyond the growth of a healthy, functioning brain toward developing an inquisitive, creative and intelligent mind.
this accumulation of comprehensive knowledge interwoven with keen perspectives engages the reader in an in-depth discussion of a path to access human potentials across many levels. the journey begins with simple brain- body physiology, articulating the essentials of healthy development through early and ongoing extension of the brain-mind that drives purposeful thought and character. comprehensive as any work on the brain as it relates to "mind," the focus encompasses a span from individual achievement to species potential. the gestalt of this work eclipses an amassing of scientific knowledge, applying such to living life well, as one learns and lives in accordance with nature's agenda.
burns and brown have done a spectacular reflection of the essence of the body/brain and the mind/spirit of human potential. they have left no stone unturned in the pursuit of human growth and possibility.

in this treasure of a book, burns and brown weave a tapestry from the collective threads of their lineage traditions, experience and wisdom as veteran educators in human development and consciousness. the reader is invited on a learning adventure integrating theory, philosophy, and offering practical tools grounded in biology and contemporary relational neuroscience. the eclectic array of chapters tickle the reader's curiosity and orient us toward a future where learning is accessible to and inclusive of diverse learning styles. as illuminated here, mindful, embodied education offers pathways that foster deep intelligence and consciousness rooted in the senses, the earth and the inherent values of goodness, truth and beauty.
