Bliss Brain: The Neuroscience of Remodelling Your Brain for Resilience, Creativity and Joy
Dawson Church, PhD
Want to find ultimate happiness and resilience in your life? What if you could transform your brain to unlock this and more?
We all know that our brains are capable of rewiring themselves. But what science is now showing is that this neural plasticity isn’t just happening over the course of months or years. It’s occurring quickly and can remodel entire networks in the brain over time.
In Bliss Brain, famed researcher Dawson Church digs deep into leading-edge research and finds stunning evidence of rapid and radical brain change. In just eight weeks of practice, 12 minutes a day, using the right techniques, we can produce measurable changes in our brains. These make us calmer, happier and more resilient.
The startling conclusions of Dawson Church’s research show that neural remodelling goes much further than scientists have previously understood. In meditation experts, stress circuits begin to shrivel, while the circuits associated with joy, compassion, productivity, creativity and equanimity expand. He also shows how during deep meditation, ‘the 7 neurochemicals of ecstasy’ are released in our brains.
While writing Bliss Brain, Dawson went through a series of disasters, including escaping seconds ahead of a California wildfire that consumed his home and office and claimed 22 lives. Through it all, he steadily practised the techniques of Bliss Brain while teaching them to thousands of other people. This book weaves his story of resilience into the fabric of neuroscience, producing a fascinating picture of just how happy we can make our brains, no matter what the odds.
