The  quest for enlightenment has occupied mankind for millennia. And from  the depictions we've seen - monks sitting on meditation cushions, nuns  kneeling in prayer, shamans communing with the universe - it seems that  this elusive state is reserved for a chosen few. But now, neuroscientist  David Perlmutter and medical anthropologist and shaman Alberto Villoldo  have come together to explore the commonalities between their  specialties with the aim of making enlightenment possible for anyone. 
 Joining  the long-separated worlds of science and spirit, Perlmutter explores  the exciting phenomena of neurogenesis and mitochondrial health, while  Villoldo brings his vast knowledge of shamanic and spiritual practices  to the table. Together they draw from the most powerful tools in each  discipline to create the Power Up Your Brain programme, a  ground-breaking, five-week plan that helps prime the brain for  enlightenment. With nutritional advice, dietary supplements, physical  exercise, shamanic practices, meditation and visualisations, Perlmutter  and Villoldo guide readers, step by step, through a program to help  them clear their minds from previous trauma and open themselves up to  experience the inner peace, vast insight and extraordinary creativity  that define the experience of enlightenment.
