Description
Your Brain: The Missing Manual is a practical look at how to get the most out of your brain -- not just how the brain works, but how you can use it more effectively. What makes this book different than the average self-help guide is that it's grounded in current neuroscience. You get a quick tour of several aspects of the brain, complete with useful advice about:
-
- Brain Food: The right fuel for the brain and how the brain commands hunger (including an explanation of the different chemicals that control appetite and cravings) - Sleep: The sleep cycle and circadian rhythm, and how to get a good night's sleep (or do the best you can without it) - Memory: Techniques for improving your recall - Reason: Learning to defeat common sense; logical fallacies (including tactics for winning arguments); and good reasons for bad prejudices - Creativity and Problem-Solving: Brainstorming tips and thinking not outside the box, but about the box -- in other words, find the assumptions that limit your ideas so you can break through them - Understanding Other People's Brains: The battle of the sexes and babies developing brains
Exploring your brain is the greatest adventure and biggest mystery you'll ever face. This guide has exactly the advice you need.
