"A book for modern people who don't even have time to take care of their minds" - Kim Dae-su (neuroscientist, professor of cognitive sciences at KAIST)
"As I read, I felt like a golden bell was ringing in my heart."
_Jeong Yeo-ul (author of "To Me Who Doesn't Care About Myself")
Researched and developed by a mindfulness neuroscientist with 30 years of experience
A practical guide to mindfulness that's easier than meditation, yoga, or writing.
"The Brain Science of Mindfulness" is a mindfulness book for modern people who have lost the time to even take care of their minds in their busy daily lives.
Stan Rodsky, a neuroscientist who has studied mindfulness for 30 years, explains the scientific principles and specific practices of mindfulness to restore the mind and body in an easy-to-understand way based on the latest brain science.
We analyze how the mind affects our body at the anatomical level, including cells and hormones, and measure brain waves to identify the optimal conditions for enhancing mindfulness.
The author introduces a new mindfulness technique called the Connection between Mind and Body, based on scientific principles rather than relying on mere experience or 'feeling'.
While conventional mindfulness practices simply focus on calming the mind, the MBC technique has a positive effect on the brain, heart, and immune system, preventing disease and transforming lives.
Practicing this will not only restore your mental and physical energy, but in the long run, it will also rewire your brain circuits, fostering resilience, focus, and self-confidence.
The mindfulness techniques in this book do not require skilled techniques like yoga or set aside time for meditation.
Guides you through applying the principles of mindfulness to small, everyday actions like walking, driving, and combing your hair.
It includes 28 mindfulness practice tasks and reference materials for each activity to help you practice mindfulness in real life.
If you follow the methods in the book one by one, you will experience how a difficult week will soon turn into a lively day.

Into the book
Mindfulness is a technique that helps calm our brains, which are awash with countless distracting thoughts.
In times like these, such peace doesn't come naturally.
We have to send our own signals to our brains to be quiet.
--- p.19, from “Introduction”
Mindfulness is like a 'comma' in music.
A rest is a moment of silence where the music pauses, but it is a moment of silence that naturally continues within the rhythm of the entire song.
That brief silence is as important as the music.
Just as commas enrich music, mindfulness adds depth to our lives.
Mindfulness can be said to be a comma that allows us to take a break from the busy brain activities.
It is a moment to quietly put down the noise that fills your head.
--- p.42, from “Chapter 1 What is Mindfulness?”
To break the vicious cycle of stress and turn it in your favor, you need to view stress as a cycle that connects the mind and body.
On a physical level, we can break this cycle by taking deep, steady breaths, and on a mental level, we can break this cycle by shifting our awareness and solving problems effectively.
--- p.16, from “Chapter 3 Mindfulness in Daily Life”
Even a cursory understanding of the technical and practical aspects of MBC will give you the confidence to overcome these obstacles and directly apply its principles to your own lives. MBC can be considered a more advanced form of mindfulness.
In fact, MBC is the foundation of mindfulness.
Proper understanding and maintenance of this foundation is essential to prevent the entire system from collapsing into balance.
The mindfulness techniques introduced in this book help restore and improve homeostasis, the balance of physical and mental functions.
--- p.206, from “Chapter 4: Mindfulness Creates a Healthy Body”
MBC has the same starting point and ending point.
It's the body.
Of course, as you practice mindfulness, many changes will come about in your emotions and thoughts.
However, MBC's true goal is only one: physical health.
It has a positive impact.
(…)
It's your body, it's your life.
It's only natural to know what's going on in my body right now.
Only then can we choose the appropriate treatment direction, whether medical or non-medical.
Knowing exactly what your current health status is and what challenges you may face in the future can greatly reduce vague anxiety.
--- p.254, from “Chapter 6 MBC Practices for a Better Life”
In a stressful situation, the real problem isn't what actually happened.
It's your reaction to that thing.
If you throw a 'brick' (a painful experience) at someone, they will fall down from the impact and be afraid to get up again for fear of being hit again.
For him, bricks are a symbol of pain.
But some people take those bricks and 'make' something out of them.
To them, bricks are a resource that creates value.
Even if he gets hit and falls, he dusts himself off and gets up, saying, "Thanks to you, I've become stronger," and expressing gratitude.

Publisher's Review
In an age of chronic stress,
Is your mind at peace?
There is a term called '21st century syndrome'.
This is a term for adrenal fatigue syndrome, which is a condition characterized by chronic fatigue due to long-term stress.
When our body receives a threatening stimulus, various parts of the body are activated to cope with it.
This is a normal response to cope with stress.
However, modern people living in the 21st century are subjected to too much and continuous stress, which leads to overload.
The news is full of all kinds of incidents and accidents, our phones keep ringing with notifications, and the endless pressure to improve ourselves and achieve results is exhausting us.
The results can include sleep disturbances, poor concentration, depression, and sometimes even fatal physical illnesses.
Therefore, for modern people today, mindfulness is not a choice but rather a survival skill that must be learned.
But the problem is that many people have difficulty finding time to take care of their minds in their busy daily lives.
“The Brain Science of Mindfulness” is a book for these people.
Author Stan Rodsky is a neuroscientist who has been studying mindfulness for 30 years. Based on the latest research in brain science, psychology, and biology, he presents customized mindfulness techniques for modern people who are short on time and leisure.
Easier than meditation, yoga, and writing
A Guide to Practicing Mindfulness in Real Life
The greatest strength of this book is that it contains only mindfulness techniques that anyone can start practicing right now.
The mindfulness we need is not a cumbersome and vague practice, but a small practice that can be easily implemented in everyday life.
So this book doesn't introduce methods that require skilled techniques like yoga or dedicated time like meditation.
Instead, it includes 28 practice exercises that teach mindfulness techniques that can be applied directly to real life.
The conditions for mindfulness activities exemplified in this book are pattern, repetition, and control.
Any repetitive activity that you can pattern within your control will suffice.
In other words, we can apply mindfulness to small actions we perform every day, such as walking, driving, brushing our teeth, and combing our hair.
This book is also a practical workbook for those who need mindfulness.
It includes a variety of reference materials that you can see, hear, and use yourself to help you start practicing mindfulness more easily.
This book contains almost everything you need to practice mindfulness, including a mindfulness practice plan, activity-specific writing forms, music, and photo materials.
With the latest brain science
Mindfulness becomes even more powerful
Many people recognize the need for mindfulness and practice it, but few truly understand its principles and effects.
This book explains the scientific principles underlying mindfulness in an accessible way and presents more powerful mindfulness techniques to enhance its effectiveness.
The core of mindfulness is understanding the principle of the mind-body connection (MBC).
While conventional mindfulness practices simply focus on calming the mind, the MBC technique proposed in this book aims to positively impact the brain, heart, and immune system, thereby preventing disease and achieving life-changing outcomes. Practicing MBC-based mindfulness not only restores mental and physical energy, but also, in the long term, rewires brain circuits to foster resilience, focus, and self-confidence.
Ultimately, mindfulness is a technique for returning the control of our lives back to ourselves.
By practicing mindfulness, we can realize that we are the ones who can change our lives.
Let's try out the practices introduced in this book one by one while walking down the street or combing our hair.
It is about being faithful to the sensations of my body and the experiences of this moment that I have forgotten in the midst of my hectic daily life.
Through daily practice of caring for yourself in this way, you will be able to regain not only your mental and physical health, but also the strength to create the life you want.
