This book offers a completely new and groundbreaking approach to the brain and shows us how we can rely on this amazing organ as a gateway that will lead us to health, happiness, and spiritual growth.

The famous author and physician Deepak Chopra and Harvard Medical School professor Rudolph E. Tanzi joined their knowledge and expertise to explore the human brain and its untapped potential. Unlike the "basic brain," which performs everyday functions, Chopra and Tanzi demonstrate how, with increased self-awareness and the conscious intention of the individual, the brain can be taught to transcend its apparent limits.

The book debunks the five most prevalent myths about the brain that limit its potential, and explains how we can:

• use the brain instead of letting it use us
• create the ideal lifestyle for a healthy brain
• reduce the risks of aging
• promote happiness and well-being through the mind-body connection
• reach the enlightened brain, the gateway that will lead us to freedom and bliss
• overcome the most common conditions that threaten us, such as memory loss, depression, anxiety, and obesity.
