Books

I'm an avid and voracious reader, mostly non-fiction. Here are some of my recent reads:

Norman Doidge "The Brain that Changes Itself"
This is a re-read for me. I picked up even more info the second time around. An excellent and accessible book on brain fitness and neuro-plasticity or how the brain can continue to change, adapt and grow even as we change.
Inspiring!

Dalai Lama and Daniel Goleman "Destructive Emotions"
This book is part of an on-going series, a compilation of a conference held in 2000 in Dharamsala, India. The Dalai Lama has provided a forum for Western scientists to meet with eminent Buddhists to discuss wonderful topics like emotions, education, sleep. Daniel Goleman is the author of the bestseller "Emotional Intelligence" This book "Destructive Emotions" is substantial and somewhat dense (maybe that's just me!) read.
