In Braintenance, neuroscientist and science communicator Dr Julia
Ravey explains how you can take charge of your brain with methods
based on science to change habits, achieve your goals and lead the
life you want. Your brain likes to keep you safely in your comfort
zone. And that is what holds you back. We have no trouble imagining
the goals we would like to achieve - a healthier lifestyle, passing
exams or embarking on a new career - but turning them into reality
is far harder. Dr Julia Ravey explains the practical methods that
will enable you to transform your life for the better. By using the
latest developments in science and psychology you will learn how to
direct your focus, boost belief, beat procrastination - and why you
should forget motivation. Using our current understanding about the
brain and the way we behave, Ravey has developed techniques that
enabled her to pursue her goals - and they will work for you, too.
The more you understand about your thinking, the more control you
can have over your life. Change is good. Your brain just needs some
convincing.

Minnie McClary is the new girl and knows that she doesn't quite fit
in, especially not after she lost it one day in language arts. In
art, Minnie has to paint a self portrait--but how can she do this
when she doesn't even know who she is anymore? Things aren't great
at home, either. Her uncle Bill is building a huge replica of the
Apache helicopter he flew in Iraq, and her father has blown some
sort of whistle and has to start over in a new job. Then Miss Marks
takes over Minnie's language class and encourages students to think
critically about everything. They write their thoughts and
questions in journals, marking the most private entries For Your
Eyes Only. Minnie and her classmate Amira are inspired, but some
people in town wonder why Miss Marks is encouraging students to ask
these questions and just what, exactly, she's teaching. When a
group of angry parents demands Miss Marks's suspension, Minnie
finds herself asking a lot of questions--and figuring out what she
has the power to change.
