Sample Book Insights: #1 The first few years of integrating new parenthood into an already busy life were challenging for me. I was engaged in the constant, all-consuming work of running the lab, writing grants, conducting studies, teaching courses, and mentoring students. #2 I was used to being able to study my way to success, but now I was unable to logic my way out of my problem. I couldn’t analyze or think my way back from feeling out of step with my life. I realized that if I was unwilling to change my life, I would have to change my brain. #3 I was born in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India, and when I was a baby, my parents moved to the United States so that my father could complete his graduate work in engineering. I grew up in the suburbs of Chicago, and as Indian kids, we knew there were only three acceptable professions for us: doctor, engineer, or accountant. #4 My job was to take people who had suffered traumatic brain injuries outside for some fresh air. I got to know one of the patients particularly well. His name was Gordon, and he had been in a motorcycle accident. He would spend hours every night memorizing the motion of his hand as it pressed the lever.
