Information on Attention and Meditation

There is more and more discussion and research on the benefits on meditation on improving attention.  I thought I would post a few of these links so you can take a look at what is being said in the public domain.

Back from Writing Book

I am looking forward to the 2009 postings and comments.

I have been busy the last two months working on a book on the Arrowsmith Program and Eaton Arrowsmith School called, “Brain School: Children Who Changed Their Lives Through Educational Neuroplasticity“.  The book will take a look at students who have completed the Arrowsmith Program and have been integrated into public and private schools.  There will be a variety of learning disability and attention disorder subtypes analyzed and remediation methods discussed.  The book will use case studies to provide an interesting insight into cognitive remediation of learning differences.  Let me know if you would like to be on a list of individuals interested in purchasing this book when it comes out in December 2009.

I hope all of you have a wonderful 2009.  I hope to get more information out this year on neuroplasticity, learning disabilities and attention disorders.

All the best,

Howard
