Award Winner in the Science category of the 2020 Best Book Awards
sponsored by American Book Fest Award-winning author and thought
leader Dawson Church, Ph.D., blends cutting-edge neuroscience with
intense firsthand experience to show you how you can rewire your
brain for happiness-starting right now. Neural plasticity-the
discovery that the brain is capable of rewiring itself-is now
widely understood. But what few people have grasped yet is how
quickly this is happening, how extensive brain changes can be, and
how much control each of us has over the process. In Bliss Brain,
famed researcher Dawson Church digs deep into leading-edge science,
and finds stunning evidence of rapid and radical brain change. In
just eight weeks of practice, 12 minutes a day, using the right
techniques, we can produce measurable changes in our brains. These
make us calmer, happier, and more resilient. When we cultivate
these pleasurable states over time, they become traits. We don't
just feel more blissful as a temporary state; the changes are
literally hard-wired into our brains, becoming stable and enduring
personality traits. The startling conclusions of Church's research
show that neural remodeling goes much farther than scientists have
previously understood, with stress circuits shriveling over time.
Simultaneously, "The Enlightenment Circuit"-associated with
happiness, compassion, productivity, creativity, and
resilience-expands. During deep meditation, Church shows how "the 7
neurochemicals of ecstasy" are released in our brains. These
include anandamide, a neurotransmitter that's been named "the bliss
molecule" because it mimics the effects of THC, the active
ingredient in cannabis. It boosts serotonin and dopamine; the first
is an analog of psilocybin, the second of cocaine. He shows how
cultivating these elevated emotional states literally produces a
self-induced high. While writing Bliss Brain, Church went through a
series of disasters, including escaping seconds ahead of a
California wildfire that consumed his home and office and claimed
22 lives. The fire triggered a painful medical condition and a
financial disaster. Through it all, Church steadily practiced the
techniques of Bliss Brain while teaching them to thousands of other
people. This book weaves his story of resilience into the fabric of
neuroscience, producing a fascinating picture of just how happy we
can make our brains, no matter what the odds.
