The Power Brain: Five Steps to Upgrading Your Brain Operating System
Our brains are a thousand times more incredible than anything else we will ever encounter. Every great accomplishment human beings have achieved was the work of the brain. In fact, our brains possess infinite potential that allows us to do and be anything. By using this potential well, we become a "Power Brain" that can not only create our personal fate, but that of the entire planet.
To develop our brains' potential, it's useful to liken the brain to a computer with an operating system. We have a Brain Operating System (BOS) composed of our beliefs and preconceptions that we can change and upgrade until our brains run optimally.
Recognizing the potential in our brain beyond what we've been able to use so far, Ilchi Lee began investigating brain development principles and methods. He compiled them into a comprehensive self-development system with five steps called Brain Education. Refined over the years by new scientific research and the experiences of those who use it, Brain Education has become an academic discipline that's presented in a variety of ways, including school educational programs and corporate training.
While The Power Brain is primarily about the brain, this book does not focus on the anatomical or neuro-physiological functions of the brain. Rather, it serves as a Brain Operating System user's manual that describes how to use our brain to discover our value, recreate the story of our lives, and claim a new destiny. Improving our lives, and consequently, our world, through brain development is a skill that anyone can understand, practice, and apply to everyday life.

About the author
Ilchi Lee
96 books399 followersFrom a young age, I struggled to find the answers to what I think of are life's fundamental questions: Who am I? and Why am I alive? I found those answers for myself after much study and circumspection, culminating in strict fasting and meditation on top of Moak Mountain in South Korea more than 30 years ago.
What I discovered opened up a new life and a new world for me. Since then, I've sought to find ways to help others answer those questions for themselves, and live healthier, happier, and more fulfilling lives as a result. All of my work is focused on developing methods for this and sharing them with as many people as possible. I believe when enough people know their true nature and purpose and are empowered to live by it, the world will become a place of dreams; heaven will be expressed on earth.
This is the purpose and content of all of my books. I hope they enrich your life by reading them.

The Power Brain by Ilchi Lee held my complete interest the entire time I read the book. From the beautiful color scheme and formatting to the informative facts about brain structure and function, this unique book is a must-read. The book begins with an introduction, then goes on to explore the brain in vast detail. The information provided is scientific enough to educate the reader, but not difficult to understand at all. As the book moves on, the author explores how other organs work in conjunction with the brain, what good habits you should develop as far as eating, exercise, sleep, and meditation, and how to stay positive overall. There are so many exercises included in the book, and these exercises include illustrations as a guide for the reader. They were not difficult to follow and were part of what makes the book so fun, educational, and unique.
In reading The Power Brain, I was not only intrigued by the subject matter and the fact that so much information was given about the brain, but also enlightened by the spiritual connections included. Author Ilchi Lee focuses on the scientific while including so much of what makes this study important—the spiritual basis and the importance of positivity. The reader will learn what the brain looks like, but they will also learn how important it is to smile. They will practice breathing exercises, learn physical exercises to strengthen the mind, play brain games, and even learn how to find their own core values. The author emphasizes the importance of positive thinking, even in bad situations, and includes specific exercises to let go of the past. I highly recommend the book to anyone interested in this study, or anyone who wants to use their brain to its highest potential.

Cambiar de hábitos y rutinas que nos permitirán tener un cerebro sano

If you follow Bob Proctor, Tony Robbins, Peter Sage and other people who are known in self-development, you will find a lot of messages that they share BUT in a different language.
The book is really good.
It has a lot of tools on how you can change your life for better. And it was written in a way to resonate with people who are very spiritual and into meditation and energies.

J'ai obtenu une copie de ce livre par Net Galley France.
Intéressant, mais très technique. La méthode proposée est composée de 5 étapes. Des exercices sont présentés à chacune.
