Product Description Our brains are a thousand times more incredible than anything else we will ever encounter. Every great accomplishment human beings have achieved was the work of the brain. In fact, our brains possess infinite potential that allows us to do and be anything. By using this potential well, we become a "Power Brain" that can not only create our personal fate, but that of the entire planet. To develop our brains' potential, it's useful to liken the brain to a computer with an operating system. We have a Brain Operating System (BOS) composed of our beliefs and preconceptions that we can change and upgrade until our brains run optimally. Recognizing the potential in our brain beyond what we've been able to use so far, Ilchi Lee began investigating brain development principles and methods. He compiled them into a comprehensive self-development system with five steps called Brain Education. Refined over the years by new scientific research and the experiences of those who use it, Brain Education has become an academic discipline that's presented in a variety of ways, including school educational programs and corporate training. While The Power Brain is primarily about the brain, this book does not focus on the anatomical or neuro-physiological functions of the brain. Rather, it serves as a Brain Operating System user's manual that describes how to use our brain to discover our value, recreate the story of our lives, and claim a new destiny. Improving our lives, and consequently, our world, through brain development is a skill that anyone can understand, practice, and apply to everyday life.

All rights reserved. But as a comprehensive educational system, Brain Education's ultimate goal is to create what I call a Power Brain–a productive, creative, and peaceful brain. A productive brain is realistic and responsible. It uses focus and drive to achieve worthy goals, and it uses time and resources efficiently. Through self-management and self-administration, it's able to complete the goals it has selected for itself. ... You're probably hard-working and responsible. Yet most people complain that they have difficulty focusing, or maybe they procrastinate or spend too much time on the Internet. Can you imagine how much more productive you'd be if you mastered the art of concentration? It's not surprising that in today's world, we have a hard time focusing. We're inundated with information, so we constantly have distraction buzzing around us. The exercises of Brain Education are designed to help you get control of your brain so you can focus on moving toward whatever it is you want to be in the world. Creativity is another attribute of a Power Brain. A creative brain can think flexibly and exhibit imagination freely. It can picture a bright future without collapsing under the burden of reality, even when life is extremely difficult in the moment. Creative people think of solutions when they confront obstacles on the journey toward their goals. Creative brains aren't just important for artists and musicians. Everyone needs a cr
