Far from being a New Age fad, secular mindfulness courses are remarkably consistent with these ancient teachings and are proving their worth for tackling many of the problems associated with the demands of our frenetic, technology-driven modern world.\u003cbr\u003eResearch by psychologists and clinicians has shown that mindfulness can be used to treat stress, anxiety, depression, chronic pain, hypertension and drug addiction, as well as improving concentration, empathy, emotion regulation and the quality of interpersonal relationships. There have even been hints that it could enhance immune function, slow cellular ageing and help keep dementia at bay.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Taking us on a journey back to the time of the Buddha to record changes in his brain as he travels the path leading to enlightenment, \u003ci\u003eSiddhartha's Brain\u003c\/i\u003e is the first book to explain not only \u003ci\u003ehow\u003c\/i\u003e meditation and mindfulness work but also \u003ci\u003ewhy.\u003c\/i\u003e It proposes that by fine-tuning the neural circuits that allowed our hominid ancestors to band together in ever larger social groups, these practices can help us find lasting peace and contentment.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Robinson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42978766520486,"sku":"9781472136367","price":19.9,"currency_code":"MYR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0443\/8471\/4918\/products\/siddhartha-s-brain-the-science-of-meditation-mindfulness-and-enlightenment-9781472136367-31949588758706.jpg?v=1656108800","url":"https:\/\/bookxcess.myshopify.com\/products\/siddharthas-brain-9781472136367","provider":"Staging Site ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
