As my path took me to this book via reading couple books about Buddhism and brain plasticity, based on the title and description, I had big expectations from it. However unfortunately, I was pretty disappointed.
Maybe if you are a beginner for Buddhism, brain plasticity and/or meditation, this book can be a good starting point. However do not expect much about Buddhism other than couple sentences in each chapter with a reference to some concepts which are very deep in nature to cover in couple sentences.
It did a poor job having a good structure explaining the brain, its functions and different parts.

Of course, there were some good paragraphs in it, I especially liked the last chapter about Self. And added “Small Boat, Great Mountain by Ajahn Amaro” to my reading list. But still...
