Description: "Dao is an ancient Eastern method, a way or path for exploring and learning. From the Eastern perspective everything has its Dao, or "way," even the brain. By weaving together this and other Eastern traditions (including yoga, Buddhism, and Zen) and Western science, new understandings previously not considered emerge. This book is an insightful introduction to these traditions that sheds new light on the relationship between the mind and the brain."--Back cover.
