FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Jesus, Moses, Mohammed, Gandhi, and the Buddha all had brains built essentially like anyone elses, yet they were able to harness their thoughts and shape their patterns of thinking in ways that changed history. With new breakthroughs in modern neuroscience and the wisdom of thousands of years of contemplative practice, it is possible for us to shape our own thoughts in a similar way for greater happiness, love, compassion, and wisdom.
