Rewiring the Brain is not just another book on stress. It explores
a daring and innovative path to accessing the power of
consciousness as a more effective and lasting solution to tackle
stress and emotional afflictions. The present remedies, such as
drills of positive thinking and self-hypnosis through beliefs,
accrue only temporary solace and euphoria that wear off sooner than
expected. Also our reasoning power is not able to rein in the
unyielding force of negative emotions that fuel stress and
depression. Hence, this book pursues a new approach. It outlines
also certain ways that slow down aging process and enhance memory,
attention span, and emotional equilibrium. The book is a
fascinating journey to the inner world of self-its constructs of
emotions, thoughts, and memories-to discover why one behaves the
way one does. We go through myriads of joys and sorrows in the long
course of life, but hardly have the patience to pause and ponder
over the reasons that make them. Does it matter? Yes, much more
than perhaps one realizes. Stress should not be seen as an isolated
issue. It betrays the quality of individual self in its ceaseless
action of living. We have one and only life-the most precious thing
we happen to possess, and it is but natural that we struggle hard
to do our utmost to make it a wonderful experience. Stress, in its
overt or covert forms, works as a persistent factor that undermines
the spontaneity, joy, and beauty of life. In this competitive and
complex world, one faces countless factors of stress that are
unavoidable and immutable, including illness, accident, or death.
There are some other factors that can be altered through efforts,
which play a more decisive role in life. These are individual
attitude, mental tendencies, and ways one interacts with external
world. There is much truth in the saying "Life is 10 percent what
happens to you and 90 percent how you react to it." An objective
understanding of these individual factors means that half the
battle of tackling stress is won. Hence, the book seeks to help the
reader face and understand the workings of inner self and its
intricacies without resorting to psychological escape or
suppression. Yet an objective understanding is only the first step.
It does not resolutely change our mental habits and conditionings
that are hardwired in the brain. This suggests the need to go
beyond the remedies prevalent now and look for fundamentally new
solutions. In such effort, this book explores the possibility of
using the power of consciousness to rewire the brain and tackle
stress. The book has a refreshingly open-minded approach, devoid of
religious ideologies or mystical beliefs, and does not involve
psychological escapes. The practical methods and benefits are
outlined in a scientific spirit and correlated with research by
neuroscientists, psychologists, and medical institutes. The book
does not offer shortcuts or peripheral solutions, because none
exists. Neither does it offer self-hypnosis and gratifying beliefs
that are concealed in prescriptive actions and mental drills.
Thomas More's classic of political philosophy depicts an island
society where all residents lives in harmony with one another.
Published in 1516, Utopia sees Sir Thomas More advances many tenets
of what he views to be a perfect society. His use of the word
'utopia' as the name of the harmonious island nation he writes
about entered the popular vernacular, and is now used to describe
any society where life is perfect for all of its inhabitants. More
describes the social customs, means of transport, a lack of private
property, trust between residents who do not lock their doors, a
simple spartan lifestyle free of ostentation, a welfare state, free
health care, a priesthood permitted to marry, and gender equality
when it comes to matters of work. Those who commit crime are
sentenced to slavery, with slaves also imported to carry out
domestic duties in Utopia's households.
