Most of us have no idea what's really going on inside our heads.
Yet brain scientists have uncovered details every business leader,
parent, and teacher should know--like the need for physical
activity to get your brain working its best. How do we learn? What
exactly do sleep and stress do to our brains? Why is multi-tasking
a myth? Why is it so easy to forget--and so important to repeat new
knowledge? Is it true that men and women have different brains? In
Brain Rules, Dr. John Medina, a molecular biologist, shares his
lifelong interest in how the brain sciences might influence the way
we teach our children and the way we work. In each chapter, he
describes a brain rule--what scientists know for sure about how our
brains work--and then offers transformative ideas for our daily
lives. Medina's fascinating stories and infectious sense of humor
breathe life into brain science. You'll learn why Michael Jordan
was no good at baseball. You'll peer over a surgeon's shoulder as
he proves that most of us have a Jennifer Aniston neuron. You'll
meet a boy who has an amazing memory for music but can't tie his
own shoes. You will discover how: Every brain is wired differently
Exercise improves cognition We are designed to never stop learning
and exploring Memories are volatile Sleep is powerfully linked with
the ability to learn Vision trumps all of the other senses Stress
changes the way we learn In the end, you'll understand how your
brain really works--and how to get the most out of it.
