Author Description

This is an illuminating introduction to the new domain of the science of our minds and hearts. This work covers and connects insights from seldom-bridged fields that span from neurobiology, neuroscience, psychotherapy, belief systems, philosophy of life and wisdom. Dr Kung draws the connections between the different fields and provides a coherent framework that demystifies the workings of our minds and hearts. Together with his own life experiences, Dr Kung includes heart-warming and gripping stories that inspire us to choose to develop ourselves and go against our biological best interest and become deep. Drawing on findings from neuroscientific experiments, Dr Kung summarizes the implications regarding how we can improve our lives through rewiring parts of our brains. We can learn to stay calm, improve our relationships, heal our past through forgiveness, and weaken our bad habits. We can also make our lives richer by recruiting new nerve connections to surpass nature, and fight against the natural evolutionary predispositions of our selfishness. We acquire depth through showing compassion and unconditional love in our relationships with others. Letting go of our ego, showing kindness, forgiveness and humility are part of wisdom. We all have the potential to become deep through kind thoughts and actions. From the neuroscientific perspective, we have to keep doing it until it becomes effortless. This book will inspire us to learn more about ourselves, and look at ourselves anew. Once we have a grasp, it would be like having found a compass that helps us to reflect on the true meaning in life and brings out our inner beauty. It is through personal and spiritual development that we become deep. At the end, if we want to have a meaningful life we need to change what we think and do.
