Dr. Joseph Jebelli proves this surprising and fascinating point in The Brain at Rest, blending science and personal stories with practical tips about using the brain’s “default network.”

Deze vragen vormen de kern van ons onderzoek, waarbij we diep in de nuances van leervermogen, IQ en het menselijk geheugen duiken.

Understanding the human mind remains one of the most alluring challenges we face. Pioneering investigations and technologies are enabling science to gain new insights into the complexity of the brain, its ability to change and adapt, and the connections between its biology and the mind and individual experience and behaviour. Drawing on this research, science journalist Lynne Malcolm takes us on a fascinating journey to discover how this new knowledge is not only changing the way we understand the brain but also changing lives.

This book discusses the utilization of biblical contemplative practice in facilitating neuroplasticity in adults who experience psychological disorders. It examines psychological disorder from four perspectives: spiritual faculty, physiological faculty, psychological faculty, and relational faculty. Having chaos or rigidity in any one faculty will lead to disintegration in the central nervous system, which inevitably leads to mental distress. This book demonstrates from scientific research how to use prayer and biblical meditation to heal the brain from psychological distress

Anxiety is one of the most powerful emotions. It has a very strong effect on your mind and body.

Don’t worry, there’s a way out!
