News Note
Learning about the brain’s mechanics can expand your self-awareness “as powerfully as any therapy or meditation or drug.” Brain science can be personally transformative--a valuable tool for achieving better relationships and an enhanced quality of life--if you apply the information to everyday living. Point to PonderThe one who says it cannot be done should not interrupt the one doing it. --Chinese Proverb Occasionally I hear individuals (I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt) say that figuring out who one is innately and learning to live authentically is “a really impossible job.” My stance is that all things are possible in some way or another--the impossible just takes a little longer... perhaps even a lifetime. While we may never achieve an absolutely authentic state of being, I, for one, intend to pursue that goal as long as I am alive on this planet. And while I’ve learned to smile politely (or grimace as the case may be) when such comments swirl about, inwardly I’m usually quoting the above proverb... and chuckling.

Worried
about your declining memory? The biggest reason for losing
one’s memory is a fear of doing so. There are a few
deadly triggers but fortunately most of us won’t have
to deal with them. My new article: The Long Good-Bye--Alzheimer’s
Disease, addresses one of those deadly triggers.
You
may have noticed that my webmaster has been busy with a redesign
of my website. Some sections have been added (e.g., FAQ)
as well as updates and additions to Selected Brain
Facts (e.g., Brain Dysfunctions, Learning
and the Brain).
