Das Gehirn eines Buddha weist uns wirksame Wege, wie wir Liebe, Weisheit und wahres Glück in unserem Leben erfahren können, und erklärt uns auch physiologisch, wie und warum das funktioniert.Der Strom unserer Gedanken formt unser Gehirn und vermag uns so, neue Möglichkeiten, Handlungsräume und Gefühlswelten zu eröffnen - oder auch zu verschließen. Demgemäß lautet die grundlegende Botschaft aktueller neurobiologischer Forschung: "Indem du dein Gehirn verändern kannst, kannst du dein Leben ändern."Gestützt auf jüngste Forschungsergebnisse zeigt uns Das Gehirn eines Buddha auf, wie wir unser Gehirn stimulieren und stärken können, um zu erfüllenderen Beziehungen und zu einem stärkeren Gefühl von innerem Vertrauen und Wert zu finden.
