In Mozart’s Brain and the Fighter Pilot, eminent neuropsychiatrist and bestselling author Richard Restak, M.D., combines the latest research in neurology and psychology to show us how to get our brain up to speed for managing every aspect of our busy lives.
On an average day, in an average minute, we can process over 240 billion bits of information per second. Such incredibly rapid brain activity can lead to confusion, fear, tension, stress, and anxiety. To stave off these pressures, our minds instinctively look for "one-minute escapes": exercise, drinking and drugs, smoking, sex, and entertainment. All efficient short-term distractions, none is a permanent salve.The One-Minute Meditator shows readers how to harness the innate drive for quick mental escapes and use that urge to quiet our thoughts from within. Proving that meditation is both physically and emotionally healthful, Nichol and Birchard show readers how to meditate whenever they have a solitary minute or more: on the walk from the parking lot to the office, while waiting in line, while on hold on the phone, or while trying to fall asleep. Both inspiring and instructive, The One-Minute Meditator gives readers the tools to incorporate the power of meditation into otherwise busy, harried lives.
How intelligent are you and is there anything you can do about it? Yes, you can, and this interactive guide will provide you with all the information you need to do so. Learn how to exercise and stimulate your brain in order to stave off mental health problems and premature aging. In this book, you'll find out exactly how your brainpower (measured in IQ points) changes when you play an instrument, stay indoors, go dancing, eat tofu, stick to a routine or live by the ocean, among many surprising factors. After adding and subtracting your way through this book, you'll have all the hints and tips you need to reach your full intellectual potential. This book might not make you the next Einstein, but it will certainly help you to make the best of your natural talents.
