Daniel Goleman
“The four main neural pathways meditation transforms are, first, those for reacting to disturbing events—stress and our recovery from it (which Dan tried not so successfully to document). As we will see, the second brain system, for compassion and empathy, turns out to be remarkably ready for an upgrade. The third, circuitry for attention, Richie’s early interest, also improves in several ways—no surprise, given that meditation at its core retrains our habits of focus. The fourth neural system, for our very sense of self, gets little press in modern talk about meditation, though it has traditionally been a major target for alteration.”
Daniel Goleman, Altered Traits: Science Reveals How Meditation Changes Your Mind, Brain, and Body

“read the poets. Hear their song. Feel the cadence. See how words convey meaning beyond their definitions. May I suggest Whitman, Sandburg and Yeats? That’s a start.”
Scott Pelley, Truth Worth Telling: A Reporter's Search for Meaning in the Stories of Our Times – An Unflinching Account of Global Events from the Former 60 Minutes Correspondent

“God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, Courage to change the things I can, And wisdom to know the difference.”
Daniel Goleman, Altered Traits: Science Reveals How Meditation Changes Your Mind, Brain, and Body

Daniel Goleman
“our society suffers from an attention deficit. Today’s children grow up with a digital device at hand continuously, and those devices offer constant distractions (and a larger stream of information than for any generation in the past), so we consider boosting attention skills to be nothing short of an urgent public health need.”
Daniel Goleman, Altered Traits: Science Reveals How Meditation Changes Your Mind, Brain, and Body

“Above all, the take-home message from this book is that we humans tend to overestimate AI advances and underestimate the complexity of our own intelligence. Today’s”
Melanie Mitchell, Artificial Intelligence: A Guide for Thinking Humans
