Are you aware there is an essential nerve in your body called the vagus nerve, which has a significant impact on your overall health? Are you willing to improve your health and overall wellbeing once and for all? Do you want to know how to activate the power of your vagus nerve? If so, then read on… The vagus nerve is not only the longest but also the most important nerve that runs in your body.

Should any damage be done to this nerve by your poor, unhealthy lifestyle, uncontrolled daily stress, or injury, you stand a high risk of being plagued by chronic inflammation, anxiety, depression, PTSD, digestive problems, heart diseases, and more. To give you a perspective, the World Health Organization in 2019 reported that about 263 million people globally suffer from depression, and this number is on the increase. In the US alone, the National Institute of Mental Health in its last report estimated that 17.3 million adults (7.1% of all US adults) had at least a major depressive episode, not to mention it costs the US billions of dollars annually to treat people with epilepsy, which is reported to have affected 1.3 million people in the US, according to the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Now more than ever, it has become increasingly important to take back your mental wellbeing and overall health through conscious efforts in stimulating the vagus nerve. Vagus nerve stimulation has shown tremendous science-backed results in helping people who suffer from PTSD, anxiety, etc. and other conditions such as inflammation, among others.

At the crossroads of art and science, Beautiful Brain presents Nobel Laureate Santiago Ramón y Cajal’s contributions to neuroscience through his groundbreaking artistic brain imagery. Santiago Ramón y Cajal (1852–1934) was the father of modern neuroscience and an exceptional artist. He devoted his life to the anatomy of the brain, the body’s most complex and mysterious organ. His superhuman feats of visualization, based on fanatically precise techniques and countless hours at the microscope, resulted in some of the most remarkable illustrations in the history of science. Beautiful Brain presents a selection of his exquisite drawings of brain cells, brain regions, and neural circuits with accessible descriptive commentary. These drawings are explored from multiple perspectives: Larry W. Swanson describes Cajal’s contributions to neuroscience; Lyndel King and Eric Himmel explore his artistic roots and achievement; Eric A. Newman provides commentary on the drawings; and Janet M. Dubinsky describes contemporary neuroscience imaging techniques. This book is the companion to a traveling exhibition opening at the Weisman Art Museum in Minneapolis in February 2017, marking the first time that many of these works, which are housed at the Instituto Cajal in Madrid, have been seen outside of Spain. Beautiful Brain showcases Cajal’s contributions to neuroscience, explores his artistic roots and achievement, and looks at his work in relation to contemporary neuroscience imaging, appealing to general readers and professionals alike.

Here's the shocking truth: The vast majority of the pain that plagues our aging bodies is self-inflicted.

“A landmark book in the science of emotions and its implications for ethics and human universals.”—Library Journal, starred review In this startling study of human emotion, Dacher Keltner investigates an unanswered question of human evolution: If humans are hardwired to lead lives that are “nasty, brutish, and short,” why have we evolved with positive emotions like gratitude, amusement, awe, and compassion that promote ethical action and cooperative societies? Illustrated with more than fifty photographs of human emotions, Born to Be Good takes us on a journey through scientific discovery, personal narrative, and Eastern philosophy. Positive emotions, Keltner finds, lie at the core of human nature and shape our everyday behavior—and they just may be the key to understanding how we can live our lives better.
