It seems like everyone is blogging about the books they are currently reading.\u00a0 I\u2019m sure this has something to do with the fact that the holiday\u2019s are now over and people are getting around to making some purchases with their gift cards.<\/p>\n

Anyway, I am a fan of reading, so I figured I\u2019d throw my current reading list into the mix.<\/p>\n

The first three are some cool books about the brain and how it controls the way we function, both physically and mentally. These books cover a variety of topics such as:<\/p>\n

– Pain
\n– Our mind\/body maps
\n– Neurological disorders
\n– Obsessive compulsive disorders<\/p>\n

This next book is one that I stumbled upon a few months ago and finally got around to picking it up. It is a book that goes over concepts of reading and interpreting research, and how to apply our findings to the real world.<\/p>\n

The final two are books that I have been meaning to pick up for some time now. They are filled with great information and I was really excited when I finally got them in the mail! The first one has some excellent guest chapters authored by Stuart McGill, Aaron Mattes, and Dr. Leahy (the developer of ART). The second is all about the nervous system and neurodynamics.<\/p>\n
