This is not just another book on stress. It explores a daring and innovative path to accessing the power of consciousness as a more effective and lasting solution to tackle stress and emotional afflictions. Rewiring the Brain is a fascinating journey to the inner world of self—its constructs of emotions, thoughts and memories—to discover why one behaves the way one does. It outlines certain practical methods that slow down aging process, and enhance memory, attention span and emotional equilibrium. The book has a refreshingly open-minded approach, devoid of religious or mystical beliefs, and does not involve psychological escapes. Roy has made extensive use of research by neurologists and scientists to build his case and uphold his bold speculations. Rewiring the Brain is a brilliant endeavor to synthesize the latest research on human brain with the ancient disciplines of harnessing the power of consciousness, such as meditation and yoga. This revised edition contains objective and practical guidelines, which would further help the readers in achieving emotional equilibrium and tackling stress.

Rajnish Roy was India’s ambassador to Turkmenistan. As a career diplomat, he also worked in Austria, Germany, Nepal, Afghanistan, Kenya, and with the Indian mission to the United Nations, Geneva. Besides his profession, he has an abiding interest in exploring the workings of human mind, consciousness and evolution of life. Rewiring the Brain is a product of that passionate pursuit over several years.
