Product Description
In his work treating patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder, Dr. Jeffrey Schwartz made an extraordinary discovery: by focusing their attention away from negative behaviors and toward positive ones, his patients were able to make permanent changes to their own neural pathways. In The Mind and the Brain Schwartz explores this power — the power of the mind to shape the brain.
Through research and case studies, he demonstrates the brain’s ability to be drastically rewired, not just in childhood but throughout life — a paradigm-shifting discovery that may possibly transform the treatment of every neurological dysfunction, from dyslexia to stroke.
Schwartz’s landmark book challenges the thought that we are merely biologically programmed automatons and proves that we have the power to shape our brains and, consequently, our destiny — a revolutionary insight that continues to provoke debate among those who care about the future of man’s role in the universe.

Rating: 5 / 5
He is a spiritual person. Well I plotting about what he was talking about a lot. I’m not going to clarify all of my thoughts here, but I at least mention what conclusions I reached, lemme know if anyone else shares these. First of all he doesn’t come out of closet and candidly say that I judge in god and I reckon the spiritual world is certainly caught up with human brains.
He keeps that hidden throughout for several reasons which frequently are evident; he hiddenly calls those “spiritual effects”, mind!
So what is mind? He never answers that question. I reckon he does that so maybe some of his not smarter audiences conclude that maybe god exists or maybe science does clarify religion in some way. And then he brings up the quantum physics and says Aha that’s what it is, quantum physics clarifies mind but he never says how, all he says is that the classical physics doesn’t clarify mind it only clarifies brain, particles hitting each other and stuff. By involving quantum physics I reckon he’s trying to gain more validity or legitimacy on his absolutely non-valid arguments.
My final comment is “WHAT?!”
Why don’t you clarify what you are talking about instead of just bombarding us by your opinions? Don’t just say brain sucks say why it sucks.
Oh, btw I don’t belong to Arkansas, I should be living in NY or CA at least.

Scholarly and valid, but doesnt really expand on its intriguing premise.
Much better is Gordon Rattray Taylor’s Natural History of the Mind

Parts of this book were unreadable. Content aside, the obscene quantity of repetition in the book is extremely irritating.
Why don’t writers learn that if you can say it in 100 pages, then why use 500? This entire book may possibly have been 100 pages, and if it was 100 pages, then it might have been reviewed by those in the field, instead of ignored. The rambling repetition, repeating his alleged theory over and over, is unreal. He must have repeated one thought 300 times, page after page after page. Maybe he has OCD!
Also, his theory of “quantum physics” when applied to the mind is certainly incorrect. There are a zillion of these pet theories out there. “Quantum physics” is the new boogie-man everyone can use to try and dupe people.
His thought that one part of the brain “can’t” be controlling another part of the brain is certainly incorrect.
I was coming up for this guy to start promoting some cult guru and meditation do at some top, that’s how blatant it is. He is a Buddhist, and is trying to reverse engineer a theory about why Buddhism is the ultimate reality.
Is there no end to these books?
Where is the intellectual integrity, to really try and find out some facts?
He distorts “materialism” to an obscene degree. He distorts behaviorism, and gives extreme examples.
He goes on and on about the founding of PETA…who cares? Its just padding and distraction.
Everything he discussion about is covered in Cognitive Behavior Therapy.
The fact is that no one yet knows how the Mind-Brain works, and these types of books do not help the situation.
It seems to me he is just trying to promote his OCD technique, and Buddhism.
Like they say, a huge book, is a huge evil.
Please publishers, FORCE your writers to CONDENSE their thoughts, and get rid of the crud, so we can review their thoughts in a more clear make.
This book is meant for New Age Right Believers, who know nothing about “biological materialism” and just want to defend their beliefs.
Its not a serious book.

Exercise is not only necessary for the body but for the brain as well. Fantastic tie in of mindfulness with neuroplasicity and quantum theory.
