"Dr. Perlmutter and Dr. Villoldo bring together the long-separated
disciplines of science and spirituality to help us gain access to
the parts of the brain that define us as human beings. This book
applies leading-edge science to our quest for enlightenment and
gives us practical tools, including specific dietary and lifestyle
recommendations, to improve our well-being."
-- Andrew Weil, M.D., author of 8 Weeks to Optimum
Health and Healthy Aging
"The shaman and physician for millennia were the same person
until the 19th century when they were split apart in the name of
science. Now through the lens of 21st-century science, Villoldo and
Perlmutter bring them back together, illuminating the web that
links together our physical and metaphysical energy. For anyone
feeling a loss of energy of body or soul, Power Up Your
Brain is your guide to restoration and rejuvenation of your
deepest energies."
-- Mark Hyman, M.D., New York Times best-selling
author of The UltraMind Solution "This is the book we've
been waiting for! With leading-edge information that's easy to
understand, Alberto Villoldo and David Perlmutter have masterfully
woven 21st-century science with the indigenous wisdom of the past
to reveal the 'missing link' in the modern story of life--the role
of our brain's health in the quality of our spiritual experience.
In doing so they offer us a practical wisdom that we can use to
empower our lives immediately! This book is a must for anyone
seriously interested in moving beyond the conventional ideas of
what enlightenment is and how to achieve it."
-- Gregg Braden, New York Times best-selling author
of The Divine Matrix and Fractal Time "This book is a
treasure. It is a guidebook to enlightenment filled with the wisdom
and experience of the authors. It relates the practical aspects of
science to the spiritual and mystical realities of the nature of
life. It clarifies what our potential is as human beings and
directs us in the steps we need to take to achieve our potential
and utilize the healing energy available to us all."
-- Bernie S. Siegel, M.D., author of Love, Medicine &
Miracles and 365 Prescriptions for the Soul "I seldom
use the word 'brilliant, ' but this book is. It expands our
awareness of the untapped potential of our brain, offers
cutting-edge neuroscience, and is written by two experts with
decades of hands-on clinical practice. See for yourself why Dr.
Perlmutter is my personal neurologist and mentor."
-- Naomi Judd, singer, songwriter, and author of Naomi's
Guide to Aging Gratefully "This is one of the most important
books I've ever read. Combining modern scientific knowledge and
shamanic practices, it lucidly explains how to restore the health
of the brain at the cellular level."-- David R. Hamilton,
