Developing a Buddha Brain: A Simple Practice for Everyone

"The expression 'It's the little things that count' is more than just a simple platitude. Research has shown that integrating small daily practices into your life can actually change the way your brain works. This guide offers simple, routine things you can do primarily within your own mind to support and increase your sense of security, worth, resilience, effectiveness, well-being, insight, and inner peace.

For instance, the practices include taking in the good, protecting your brain, feeling safer, relaxing anxiety about imperfection and the unknown, enjoying your hands, taking refuge, and filling the hole in your heart. At first glance, you may be tempted to underestimate the power of these seemingly simple practices. However, they will gradually reshape your brain through a process called experience-dependent neuroplasticity.

Moment to moment, your awareness of sounds, sensations, thoughts, and deepest longings is based on underlying neural activities. This book provides simple brain training exercises you can do every day to protect against stress, lift your mood, and cultivate greater emotional resilience. Just one practice daily can help you be good to yourself, enjoy life as it is, build on your strengths, be more effective at home and work, and make peace with your emotions.

With over fifty daily practices you can use anytime, anywhere, 'Just One Thing' is a groundbreaking combination of mindfulness meditation and neuroscience that can deepen your sense of well-being and unconditional happiness. Whatever you're aware of—be it external or internal—is rooted in neural activity, and this book offers accessible ways to positively influence that activity.

These little things may seem simple, but they have the power to gradually transform your brain and your experience of life. Moment by moment, they can shift you towards greater self-compassion, appreciation, resilience, and inner calm. Don't underestimate their impact. Integrating even just one of these practices daily can lead to profound changes in how you think, feel, and interact with the world around you."
