As Americans become older, and especially with Baby Boomers starting to enter their 60s, staying healthy in body and mind becomes more critical. According to Ilchi Lee’s new book Principles of Brain Management, controlling your brain is the key to maintaining and regaining your total health. The book follows his 5-step Brain Education method, offering ways to fully use your brain’s potential, and covering health topics such as stress management, emotional control, and life purpose.
Sedona, AZ (PRWEB) November 9, 2007 — Let’s face it. Americans are getting older. The oldest Baby Boomers are now heading into their 60s, and people are living longer than ever. The number of people over the age of 65 will double by 2030, totaling 70 million seniors, more than 20 percent of the total population.
But people among the graying millions need not fret. The old adage “you’re as old as you feel” may be literally true. While people can’t stop the fact that the years keep rolling by, according to the new book Principles of Brain Management, they can control one thing — their brain.
 I have come to revise my self-concept, and thus elevate my self-esteem, to be fundamentally loving, joyful, peaceful, creative, powerful, and wise . . . and I look and feel young and handsome, too.  |
In his new book, Ilchi Lee lays out a simple plan for taking control of one’s own brain. The book follows his 5-step Brain Education method, offering clear and simple ways to fully use the potential of the human brain. The book covers everything from stress management to emotional control to identity formation. Along the way, Lee debunks some common misconceptions about the brain, including the notion that brain function is in decline from adulthood onward.
Although the book is intended for all ages, it is especially useful for older adults who wish to redefine themselves in the later half of life. Julian Berg, who has received extensive training in the method, says that Brain Management has helped him take out a new lease on life, beginning at age 60.
To a large extent, Brain Management works through self-empowerment of the brain. Even when faced with advancing age, the brain can be mobilized to put mind over matter for the maintenance of health and the development of strength. In Berg’s case, he says, “After being unable to do any push-ups, one day I found myself doing 70. A large part of this progress was realizing how much my mind determined my physical actions.”
Principles of Brain Management is also a guide to recreating one’s identity in a truly satisfying way, which is essential in later life. The exercises and advice provided in the book can help people get to the core of their own being to discover what they truly want from life. Berg shares, “I have come to revise my self-concept, and thus elevate my self-esteem, to be fundamentally loving, joyful, peaceful, creative, powerful, and wise . . . and I look and feel young and handsome, too.”
