COTTAGE BOOK (June) and book for July....

JUNE:  The Brain That Changes Itself: Stories of Personal Triumph from the Frontiers of Brain Science by Norman Doidge

I partly chose this book for selfish reasons:

1. It's been sitting on my shelf of books to read for some time
2. I used the author as an expert in one of my cases
3. The theories tie into or overlap the meditation I have recently been (trying) to do
4. I would like to read things that educate me in areas that I know little or nothing about

The book has excellent reviews and the stories are fascinating.  See links for details:

Summer has arrived!

What a treat to sit outside enjoying the company of friends and good conversations while a top notch chef cooked dinner for us! Carolyn it was a lovely start to summer.

Next month's book is Natalie's choice - something about our brains and July's book is Middlemarch or maybe it was Middlesex.... Both Nat and Carolyn will update this info ASAP.
