Rick Hansen author of Buddha's Brain Google Talk

I really enjoyed this video of a Google Talk by Rick Hansen who is the author of Buddha's Brain. He discusses how we can use the discoveries of neuroscience to change our brains--or as he puts it to "reverse engineer the brain". Great information. I hope you enjoy it.

Very good. I especially like the last few minutes starting at 56:35 when there is a question from the audience about why the brain resists when trying to make a change in the consciousness & tries to keep the status quo. Rick Hanson answers it very well. This part is very much in line with how the brain tries to keep us focussed on the pain when we try to change our perception of it. I feel very comfortable with this explanation.
