The quest for enlightenment has occupied mankind for millennia. And from the depictions we've seen - monks sitting on meditation cushions, nuns kneeling in prayer, shamans communing with the universe - it seems that this elusive state is reserved for a chosen few. But now, neuroscientist David Perlmutter and medical anthropologist and shaman Alberto Villoldo have come together to explore the commonalities betweentheir specialties with the aim of making enlightenment possible for anyone. Joining the long-separated worlds of science and spirit, Perlmutter explores the exciting phenomena of neurogenesis and mitochondrial health, while Villoldo brings his vast knowledge of shamanic and spiritual practices to the table. Together they draw from the most powerful tools in each discipline to create the Power Up Your Brain '' program ',' a ground-breaking, five-week plan that helps prime the brain for enlightenment. With nutritional advice, dietary supplements, physical exercise, shamanic practices, meditation, and visualizations, Perlmutter and Villoldo guide readers, step by step, through a program to help them clear their minds from previous trauma and open themselves up to experience the inner peace, vast insight, and extraordinary creativity that define the experience of enlightenment, paving the way to successfully face the challenges to come.

Very unique book
Feb 4 2011
By Elizabeth Santos
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
Dr. Perlmutter (a neuroscientist) and Dr. Villoldo (a medical anthropologist) do a remarkable job of combining science and spirituality. When I first picked up the book I thought it might read like a textbook but the authors explain medical and historical facts in a very interesting and readable way. Power Up Your Brain is informative and inspiring, an important read especially for people who know deep inside that they're capable of producing and creating so much more.

Power Up Your Life!

Format:Hardcover
I LOVE `Power Up Your Brain'...and could not put it down.
The brilliant doctors who joined forces to write this book truly bring together the link between mind, body and spirit with scientific evidence to back it all up.
It is a myth that we only use about 20-30% of our brain but in fact do use 100%. However, Dr. Perlmutter and Dr. Alberto Villoldo teach us that our brain's true capacity is infinite and provide practical steps to unleash these new pathways and access more brain power and consciousness.

A Must Read!

I read Power Up Your Brain in one sitting, and recommend it highly. It is a wonderful balance of "right brain" and "left brain" information and philosophy, so it will appeal to - and speak clearly to - a huge and diverse audience. It is a clear prescription for health on many levels, presented with integrity by two excellent writers who know their material exceedingly well.
