"Someday, after we have mastered the winds, the waves, the tides and gravity, we shall harness for God the energies of love. Then for the second time in the history of the world man will have discovered fire."
—Teilhard de Chardin
Welcome to another of our free information sections from SUNRISE for you to enjoy and perhaps apply to your own personal life journey.
This topic has been put together quickly for our readers to help you gain an understanding of the essential knowledge surrounding the way your brain and mind works and the likely problems that can affect it, what you can do to avoid the problems, and how you can enhance the functions of the brain to achieve accelerated learning, modify your beliefs to become more balanced, and give you the power to adapt to a wider range of changes in the environment and other people. It will cover the relevant groundwork about how your brain works, how behaviour is formed, the importance of positive emotions in improving memory and other functions. and the types of common behaviours the brain produces when we choose to think in a particular way — in what we loosely describe as left- or right-brain.
By the end of this research topic, we hope you will have a better appreciation of the power you have to solve virtually any problem set before you. The fact that. thanks to your amazing brain, you can achieve anything through the choices you make today should inspire you to move forward and make the most of your life, move society towards a more balanced future, and ensure that the world is filled with the love, hope and long-term beneficial solutions we all deserve.

Happy reading...and learning!
