Buy the book: Amazon

How To Operate Your Mind: The Eight Circuit Model of Human Psychology, by Timothy Lee Alley is a nonfiction book that discusses Dr. Timothy Leary's suggestion that our brains are made up of eight mini-brains (or circuits) - known as the Eight-fold Model of Human Intelligence. Dr. Leary suggests that our behavior is therefore determined by each of these eight circuits. "Detailed study and understanding of the brain now allows us to focus our attention on specific activities and stimuli to guide our consciousness, and possibly others, through this eight circuit maze to find peace and happiness."

The author's intention in writing the book is to "share with you the knowledge that has helped me elevate my awareness and improve my overall health and happiness." The book asks:
"Have you ever wondered what makes you who you are? Or why you do the things you do when sometimes you don't mean to do the at all? We, as human beings, have mastered the evolutionary process through the creation of consciousness We have learned to adapt to almost any situation that is presented to us and we owe this to our amazing brains. Our brains help us accomplish the unthinkable, and most of this is done without us even realizing it."

How to Operate Your Mind also discusses how life altering events (e.g., the death of a loved one) can actually change our brains, therefore altering our mental states forever. An intriguing read for those interested in the brain!
