Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A guide to retelling your personal, family, and cultural stories to transform your life, your relationships, and the world • Applies the latest neuroscience research on memory, brain mapping, and brain plasticity to the field of narrative therapy • Details mind-mapping and narrative therapy techniques that use story to change behavior patterns in ourselves, our relationships, and our communities • Explores how narrative therapy can help replace dysfunctional cultural stories with ones that build healthier relationships with each other and the planet We are born into a world of stories that quickly shapes our behavior and development without our conscious awareness. By retelling our personal, family, and cultural narratives we can transform the patterns of our own lives as well as the patterns that shape our communities and the larger social worlds in which we interact. Applying the latest neuroscience research on memory, brain mapping, and brain plasticity to the field of narrative therapy, Lewis Mehl-Madrona and Barbara Mainguy explain how the brain is specialized in the art of story-making and story-telling. They detail mind-mapping and narrative therapy techniques that use story to change behavior patterns in ourselves, our relationships, and our communities. They explore studies that reveal how memory works through story, how the brain recalls things in narrative rather than lists, and how our stories modify our physiology and facilitate health or disease. Drawing on their decades of experience in narrative therapy, the authors examine the art of helping people to change their story, providing brain-mapping practices to discover your inner storyteller and test if the stories you are living are functional or dysfunctional, healing or destructive. They explain how to create new characters and new stories, ones that excite you, help you connect with yourself, and deepen your intimate connections with others. Detailing how shared stories and language form culture, the authors also explore how narrative therapy can help replace dysfunctional cultural stories with those that offer templates for healthier relationships with each other and the planet.

Download or read book Unstrange Minds written by Roy Richard Grinker and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2008-07-31 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A father's inspiring portrait of his daughter informs this classic reassessment of the "epidemic" of autism. When Isabel Grinker was diagnosed with autism in 1994, it occurred in only about 3 of every 10,000 children. Within ten years, rates had skyrocketed. Some scientists reported rates as high as 1 in 150. The media had declared autism an epidemic. Unstrange Minds documents the global quest of Isabel's father, renowned anthropologist Roy Richard Grinker, to discover the surprising truth about why autism is so much more common today. In fact, there is no autism epidemic. Rather, we are experiencing an increase in autism diagnoses, and Grinker shows that the identification and treatment of autism depends on culture just as much as it does on science. Filled with moving stories and informed by the latest science, Unstrange Minds is a powerful testament to a father's search for the truth.

Book excerpt: Close your eyes and look into the deepest parts of your Imagination and search for all your Dreams and Aspirations.Can you See them?Can you Feel them?Can you Sense them?Can you place yourself within your Dreams and Aspirations as your Reality?Or do you only sense them as distant Daydreams?That sense you feel is your Self Awareness!!! that tell us if those Dreams & Aspirations are within our grasp.And the thinking that sees them as only Daydreams are your Beliefs.Self Awareness constructs our beliefs, which is self-understanding we feel as Emotions, towards any given situation.Emotions we label as concepts that are an approximation of those sensations we feel.Emotions are beyond the concepts of words, which makes up the depth of our spherical sense.Spherical sense is the encompassment of our whole being, we use towards an objective, that our thinking is ONE aspect of.Our dreams and aspirations are a whole body experience of sensations that we draw our knowledge from. That if we only use our aspect of thinking alone to achieve them, means we are ignoring other vital elements of understanding that narrows our window of perception.The mind is the analysis tool of spherical sense that our thinking assigns strategies to, once self-awareness is established for an objective, that we call our Beliefs.But how many of us have beliefs that are not cultured from spherical sense, but are beliefs cultured by external influences?Those beliefs are not your own, but the perception of others, that we take as our beliefs, with no spherical sense to verify it.The mind alone is not awareness! but our bodies are.Where there is no Awareness, there is no Understanding.Where there is no Understanding there are Limited Beliefs.Where there are Limited Beliefs, there are only DayDreams!Therefore if we have no awareness of our Dreams and Aspirations then our beliefs will have no understanding of how to achieve them...This book will explore my own journey of self-discovery where I journey inwards to uncover the wonders the imagination " The Mirror Of Perception". And the role our imagination plays when we pursue our dreams.

Book excerpt: Brain scans reveal our thoughts, memories - even our moods - as clearly as an X-ray reveals our bones.

Mapping the Mind shows how these can be used to help explain aspects of our behaviour and how behavioural eccentricities can be traced to abnormalities in an individual brain.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A leading neuroscientist and pioneer in the study of mindfulness explains why addictions are so tenacious and how we can learn to conquer them We are all vulnerable to addiction. Whether it’s a compulsion to constantly check social media, binge eating, smoking, excessive drinking, or any other behaviors, we may find ourselves uncontrollably repeating. Why are bad habits so hard to overcome? Is there a key to conquering the cravings we know are unhealthy for us? This book provides groundbreaking answers to the most important questions about addiction. Dr. Judson Brewer, a psychiatrist and neuroscientist who has studied the science of addictions for twenty years, reveals how we can tap into the very processes that encourage addictive behaviors in order to step out of them. He describes the mechanisms of habit and addiction formation, then explains how the practice of mindfulness can interrupt these habits. Weaving together patient stories, his own experience with mindfulness practice, and current scientific findings from his own lab and others, Dr. Brewer offers a path for moving beyond our cravings, reducing stress, and ultimately living a fuller life.

Download or read book The Musician's Mind written by Lynn Helding and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2020-02-05 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Where does learning begin and how is it sustained and stored in the brain? For musicians, these questions are at the very core of their creative lives. Cognitive and neuroscience have flung wide the doors of our understanding, but bridging the gap between research data and music-making requires a unique immersion in both worlds. Lynn Helding presents a symphony of discoveries that illuminate how musicians can optimize their mental wellbeing and cognitive abilities. She addresses common brain myths, motor learning research and the concept of deliberate practice, the values of instructional feedback, technology’s role in attention disorders, the challenges of parenting young musicians, performance anxiety and its solutions, and the emerging importance of music as a social justice issue. More than an exploration of the brain, The Musician’s Mind is an inspiring call for artists to promote the cultivation of emotion and empathy as cornerstones of a civilized society. No matter your instrument or level of musical ability, this book will reveal to you a new dynamic appreciation for the mind’s creative power.
