Book Description
From the New York Times bestselling author of The Zookeeper's Wife, an ambitious and enlightening work that combines an artist's eye with a scientist's erudition to illuminate, as never before, the magic and mysteries of the human mind. Long treasured by literary readers for her uncommon ability to bridge the gap between art and science, celebrated scholar-artist Diane Ackerman returns with the book she was born to write. Her dazzling new work, An Alchemy of Mind, offers an unprecedented exploration and celebration of the mental fantasia in which we spend our days—and does for the human mind what the bestselling A Natural History of the Senses did for the physical senses. Bringing a valuable female perspective to the topic, Diane Ackerman discusses the science of the brain as only she can: with gorgeous, immediate language and imagery that paint an unusually lucid and vibrant picture for the reader. And in addition to explaining memory, thought, emotion, dreams, and language acquisition, she reports on the latest discoveries in neuroscience and addresses controversial subjects like the effects of trauma and male versus female brains. In prose that is not simply accessible but also beautiful and electric, Ackerman distills the hard, objective truths of science in order to yield vivid, heavily anecdotal explanations about a range of existential questions regarding consciousness, human thought, memory, and the nature of identity.

Book Description
Looking for physical, mental, emotional and spiritual balance? Delve into Mental Alchemy. This book focuses on using affirmations to change previous patterns that no longer serve your highest good, and elicit a deeper way of seeing yourself and the world around you. In ancient teachings, alchemy was described as changing lead into gold. As great teachers, alchemists shared their knowledge with initiates, students in their sacred groups that were cloaked in secrecy for many millennia. These teachings trickled down, bringing esoteric knowledge to all who are ready. This knowledge brings with it a great capacity for healing and change, as it goes beyond altering the composition of metal and instead focuses on using thought and belief to change ones very mind-set. So the lead (negative thoughts) can be changed into gold (positive thoughts) through the process of Mental Alchemy. To do so is to change the nature and quality of the very energy around you. Are you ready to change your world?
