The Mind and the Brain: Neuroplasticity and the Power of Mental Force by Sharon Begley, Jeffrey M. Schwartz
3.0
Presents some fascinating ideas - how quantum theory and the mind may be related is nothing short of fascinating - and the author has achieved great things with OCD patients. It's also interesting to see neuroscience and neuroplasticity related to wider philosophical questions, and Buddhism.
Despite these insights though, I found it a bit repetitive. As brilliant as the author's groundbreaking work with OCD patients was, this was brought up on what felt like every other page throughout the entire book, so by the end I was losing interest.
