I have had great insight and fun with the observations of lizard brain versus mammalian brain. Neural, social, enviromental,anthropological,modern, ancient,philosophic, ...             The Axemaker's Gift10 reviews Robert Ornstein, James Burke Tarcher, 1997 5 stars IF you are ready to change the way you think.

Dr. Ornstein's books such as The Right Mind and The Healing Brain have always been considered mind blowing. The Evolution of Consciousness is probably the one I talk to people the most about, and in a way MindReal is the ultimate sequel. It gives example after example of how our mind can generate perceptual distortions and be ill suited for the modern world--running outdated programs developed ...             Meditation and Modern Psychology Robert Ornstein Malor Books, 2008             Evolution of Consciousness: The Origins of the Way We Think8 reviews Robert Ornstein Simon & Schuster, 1992 Evolution of consciousness...and, maybe, conscious evolution Trying to do scientific reading on consciousness studies can often be as pleasant as pulling teeth, the stuff of nightmares for those who are not biology majors.

Dr. Ornstein was one of the groundbreaking researchers in hemispherical differences in brain functioning ...             The Amazing Brain4 reviews Robert Ornstein, Richard Thompson Mariner Books, 1991 A very good read A really great introduction to the workings of the brain. Truly memorable illustrations: so much better than those dry, factual diagrams you get in most textbooks. This book is an easy read, and keeps a lively pace. Its only drawback is that it is a little dated, but any book on a subject under such intensive research is likely to be a bit out of date by the time it reaches the lay-reader. ...             Healthy Pleasures8 reviews Robert E. Ornstein, David Sobel Da Capo Press, 1990 A truly healing book This might be my favorite mind/body book. Through scientific research, it proves that pleasure is good for you, purpose, meaning, fun and laughter are good for you. In other words, the better your life, the better your health is likely to be. And the harder your life, the more health problems you are likely to have. This is a profoundly healing message. It tells us not to be hard on ...             The Right Mind: Making Sense of the Hemispheres11 reviews Robert Ornstein Harcourt, 1997 Fascinating and fun Ornstein's early writings on right brain/left brain differences led to a veritable explosion of research and writing on the subject. In this book he's written an excellent summary of the current state of our understanding: although it's clear that the halves of the brain have different areas of specialization, he emphasizes strongly that they need to work together to enable us to function ...             The Roots of the Self: Unraveling the Mystery of Who We Are3 reviews Robert Ornstein Octagon Press, Limited, 1995 Good starting point for beginning self-actualizers... This is a good starting point for people who are beginning to ask why... Why do I feel the way I do, why do I think the way I do, and why do I do the things I do? It isn't all random, and the more we can learn about how we are wired, the more effective we can be in all of our relationships. Reading this book led me to many other simmilar treatises of the same genre (most notably Wilson's ...             The Healthy Mind, Healthy Body Handbook5 reviews David Sobel, Robert Ornstein Time-Life Books, 1997 absolute best book i have ever read This book is awesome, It mentions great ways to reframe our toxic way of thinking in an optimistic approach.

Thompson Houghton Mifflin Company, 1984 Synopsis Beginning with the simplest view of brain anatomy and operations and using the latest research available, Ornstein and Thomoson give the reader both an actual and a metaphorical picture of the human brain. Annotation The text is enhanced by the wonderfully detailed illustrations of David Macaulay that take us into the surreal landscape of the interior of the brain.             Multimind: A New Way of Looking at Human Behavior2 reviews Robert E. Ornstein Ishk, 2003 Did you think your mind is single ? Ornstein here provides in this concise book arguments in favour of the multi-faceted working of the mind. If something can be called "mind", then it must be realized that several minds (functions) work throughout the brain. There is no single entity that can be called the "mind" as several processes work in parallel and contend for a higher-layer, call it consciousness, soul or whatever.
