Framed by the historical journey and teachings of the Buddha, Siddhartha's Brain shows how meditative and Buddhist practices anticipated the findings of modern neuroscience. Moving from the evolutionary history of the brain to the disorders and neuroses associated with our technology-driven world, James Kingsland explains why the ancient practice of mindfulness has been so beneficial to and so important for human beings across time.

Very good book about mindfulness meditation.
Revisado: 05-26-16
Most people got stuck and have never reached the other sides. One of the main problems is their method of mindfulness medication is not effective, not easy, not simple enough.
I had similar experience when I was 18. Until I ran into a stupid Thai monk. Okay, he was more of an uneducated monk since he can not read nor write. Buddhist monks generally needs to know how to read and write. He could not.
Maybe because of his inability to read, it frees him to see through too much bullshits and get straight to what really counts.
I tried his extremely easy mindfulness meditation for 5 minutes. I knew he got it. The catch? You have got to do it with your eyes open.
No, seriously.
It was the best approach
and go against practically all other meditations. The idea is to not take it seriously. Meditates like we are playing around.
It is not the body movement that matters. It's the brief silence of the body movement that counts.
See Mahasati dot org for his method. Yeb, as free as in beer. No strings attached.

Move Your DNA explains the science behind our need for natural movement - right down to the cellular level. It examines the differences between the movements in a typical hunter-gatherer's life and the movements in our own. It shows the many problems with using exercise like movement vitamins instead of addressing the deeper issue of a poor movement diet.

The best book about working out by not working out
Revisado: 03-24-16
I have been testing her ideas by stopping running cold turkey for over 6 months. I used Apple Watch to complete the Workout, Exercise and Stand rings everyday. I used to run between 30-50 mi & 4,500'-,7500' of elevation gain/loss every week. Now, I only walk 8-10 miles everyday at 7:30AM, 10AM, Noon, 3PM and after 6PM. I walk about 60-80 mi/week at work without spending extra to work out or go to the gym. It has been great. I feel just as good without running.

In recent years, Google’s autonomous cars have logged thousands of miles on American highways and IBM’s Watson trounced the best human Jeopardy! players. Digital technologies — with hardware, software, and networks at their core — will in the near future diagnose diseases more accurately than doctors can, apply enormous data sets to transform retailing, and accomplish many tasks once considered uniquely human.

Specially the ideas of innovation as recombinant technology (combines old ideas for the new) instead of low hanging fruits model.

There have been many books - on a large and small scale - about Steve Jobs, one of the most famous CEOs in history. But this book is different from all the others. Becoming Steve Jobs takes on and breaks down the existing myth and stereotypes about Steve Jobs. The conventional, one-dimensional view of Jobs is that he was half genius, half jerk from youth, an irascible and selfish leader who slighted friends and family alike.

A man shoots down a drone that is flying over his private property. A retail store uses predictive data analytics to send pregnancy-related advertising to a teenager who has not told her parents about her condition. A police officer places a GPS device on a suspected criminal's car to follow him and build a case against him. The news is full of such stories, in which new technologies lead to dilemmas that could not have been imagined just a few decades ago.

He mentioned why German is reluctant to spy on everyone.
Revisado: 03-24-16
It was because they have had first-hand experience under both Hitler and Stasi police in Easy Germany. He also mentioned the movie the Lives of Others which explained by surveillance state always ended up badly for the people. Great audiobooks!

This mind-bending tour of metaphysics applies philosophy to the forefront of today's knowledge. Over the course of 24 fascinating lectures, Professor Johnson thinks through the big questions about humans and the universe: The relationship between the mind and the brain, how consciousness emerges from neurochemical processes, the existence of God, human free will, the possibility of time travel, and whether we live in a multiverse or even a computer simulation.

He truly understands Quantum Physics
Revisado: 03-24-16
Few understands why Quantum physics can not be applied to macroscopic objects or entity like human or the mind. He explains this very well.
