In just 12 weeks, you can prevent and reverse cognitive decline, boost memory and enhance mental sharpness at any age.
Dr Majid Fotuhi, PhD, world-renowned neurologist and adjunct professor at Johns Hopkins, is leading the charge in revolutionising how we understand human intelligence, brain health and age-related cognitive decline. In this pioneering book, he reveals the true wonder of how the brain works and its infinite potential for growth and change. Supported by over thirty-five years of original research, The Invincible Brain demonstrates how targeted lifestyle changes can prevent, treat and even reverse mild cognitive impairment, early Alzheimer's disease, dementia, ADHD and concussion symptoms.
Dr Fotuhi's twelve-week programme is backed by extraordinary clinical results, published in peer-reviewed scientific journals, showing that more than 80% of patients achieve exceptional improvements in memory, focus and other cognitive functions. In elderly patients with mild cognitive impairment, MRIs show a 3% increase in the volume of the hippocampus, the key brain region for learning and memory.
This actionable guide provides a step-by-step formula for unlocking your brain's hidden potential, building resilience and maximizing mental acuity at any age. In this book, you'll discover:

For many, anxiety is a powerful giant that would like you to believe that your life will never be normal again. A giant that traps you in darkness and defeat. But, you can live free from anxiety.
Knowing first-hand the reality of the battle of anxiety, pastor Louie Giglio shares both practical and spiritual ways to walk in freedom. With encouragement and hope he unfolds the truth in the paradox that anxiety is dead but still deadly—namely, that while the reality of anxiety might be intimidating, there is One whose power has already won the battle.
Putting an X Through Anxiety will show you how to put an "X" through your anxiety using the strongest of weapons: the cross of Jesus. Each day of the journey will help you put one foot forward in the battle, breaking through strongholds where Jesus has already fought for you and won.
Twenty-five years after the publication of his groundbreaking first
book, Malcolm Gladwell returns with “curiosity and humor” in this New
York Times bestseller that reframes the lessons of The Tipping Point in
a startling and revealing light (Shannon Carlin).
Why is Miami…Miami? What does the heartbreaking fate of the cheetah
tell us about the way we raise our children? Why do Ivy League schools
care so much about sports? What is the Magic Third, and what does it
mean for racial harmony? In this provocative new work, Malcolm Gladwell
returns for the first time in twenty-five years to the subject of
social epidemics and tipping points, this time with the aim of
explaining the dark side of contagious phenomena.
Through a series of riveting stories, Gladwell traces the rise of a new
and troubling form of social engineering. He takes us to the streets of
Los Angeles to meet the world’s most successful bank robbers,
rediscovers a forgotten television show from the 1970s that changed the
world, visits the site of a historic experiment on a tiny cul-de-sac in
northern California, and offers an alternate history of two of the
biggest epidemics of our day: COVID and the opioid crisis. Revenge of
the Tipping Point is Gladwell’s most personal book yet. With his
characteristic mix of storytelling and social science, he offers a
guide to making sense of the contagions of modern world. It’s time we
took tipping points seriously.
A research-backed framework to help you accomplish your most ambitious
goals by honing and harnessing your most powerful yet underutilised
resource: intuition.
What sets the most successful people apart? While hard work is
certainly a factor, Professor Laura Huang's extensive research –
spanning entrepreneurs, investors, Olympic athletes and Pulitzer Prize
winners – reveals that their greatest asset is something less tangible:
intuition. That instinctive ‘gut feeling’ often determines who seizes
opportunities and who misses them.
In You Already Know, Laura breaks down the science behind intuition,
explaining how it is formed from external data, accumulated wisdom and
the subconscious insights we don’t even realise we have. What follows
is a gut feeling, which shifts our perspective and drives us to act.
Grounded in Huang’s pioneering research and enriched with insights from
hundreds of illuminating interviews, this book offers a practical model
for becoming better at recognising, understanding and enhancing your
intuition to accomplish your most ambitious goals. What’s stopping you
from unlocking your full potential? You already know.
