World-Class Brain: The Edge that Helps Top Performers Succeed, and How You can Develop It
This book tells the story of world-class performers and offers an easy-to-read introduction to research showing that their brain function is different from the brains of average performers. No surprise there. But what is surprising is that regardless of whether these top performers are athletes, musicians, or CEOs, their brains share one feature that makes them stand more integrated functioning. Their brains work in a more coherent, relaxed, wakeful, and efficient way.
Other features these top performers have in common include intensely happy and fulfilling peak experiences and a greater moral sense. Readers also learn how they, too, can effortlessly develop greater brain integration.
