The Healing Brain by Robert E Ornstein, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

The Healing Brain presents an easy to read, amusing, entertaining - yet highly authoritative account of how our brain \"minds\" our body - actively guarding and defending our health and well-being. Robert Ornstein, a neurologist, and David Sobel, a physician, highlight the themes most important to understand this fascinating science. They explain that, contrary to many of our assumptions about the main purpose of our brain - that it evolved primarily for \"higher-thinking\" - in fact, the brain works tirelessly to adapt to the changing world around us. This essential reference book helps us understand our brain as the original \"health maintenance organization\"- giving us the understanding we need to help our brain do what it does best - guarding our health, and helping us to heal. | The Healing Brain by Robert E Ornstein, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
