"The Awakening Brain is a refreshing reminder of the power of
thought and the ability to transcend perceived limitations. It
guides us on a path in which we make conscious choices. We can
change our thinking, which will change our brain and ultimately our
reality."
—Mimi Guarneri MD FACC, author of The Heart Speaks: A Cardiologist
Reveals the Secret Language of Healing
"In this unique book Dr. Charlotte Tomaino has deftly brought
together her extensive knowledge of neuropsychology, spirituality,
and multiple forms of therapy into an integrated whole, and she
does so in terms of both theory and clinical practice. Yet the text
and illustrations can be readily understood and implemented by
everyone, from professionals to patients and from interested
students to general readers. Dr. Tomaino speaks from three decades
of clinical experience as a very successful neuropsychologist who
has also incorporated into her work her wide knowledge from many
areas of life such as meditation, yoga, relaxation, mindfulness,
and a variety of spiritual paths.
You will learn about the brain's 'awe-inspiring ability to change,'
especially when you discover how to make beneficial neurochoices in
your daily life, which can lead you to new insights, life-mastery,
and eventually, inner peace. Dr. Tomaino has successfully treated
many kinds of patients, including brain trauma cases, stroke
victims, and learning disability students, and she describes in
detail the specific neuropsychological, cognitive, motivational,
emotional, and educational techniques used by her and her
colleagues. Yet, all this valuable information has been presented
with a charming writing style that, as well as being pleasant to
read, is leavened with personal anecdotes, lucid analogies,
representative case histories, and lots of compassion.
May I suggest that his book by Dr. Tomaino should be placed at the
very top of your non-fiction Wish List."
—Alexander Bannatyne, PhD
Retailing Insight Review:
As science and spirituality continue to move closer to each other,
most of us have gotten used to hearing how ancient spiritual
philosophies are being applied to scientific fields such as
medicine and psychology. Most familiar is mindfulness practice,
which is now influencing many branches of psychotherapy. Author Dr.
Charlotte Tomaino, a clinical neuropsychologist and former Mary
Knoll nun, has refined the science of mind and spirit and applied
it to the specific niche of rehabilitating and expanding brain
function. She specializes in helping people with traumatic brain
injuries. This book puts the protocols she developed while working
with her clients into a form that is accessible to a much broader
audience. Drawing on the biblical tradition of storytelling, she
combines cutting-edge information with practical applications. This
book stands out in the crowded field of the science of awareness.
Consider displaying it with a reprint of the 1994 Time magazine
article that propelled her ground-breaking work into the
spotlight.
"A neuropsychologist and former Catholic nun explores the
relationship between the brain and spirituality."
—Publishers Weekly Review
