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. ( )
