You already have a magnificent brain, but you probably take it for granted; we often develop "survival techniques" that force our brain to work with an incompatible "operating system" in an effort to keep up with the ever-increasing velocity of change and information overload. This book helps you beef up your brain awareness so you can take advantage of the built-in features and native capabilities that make the human brain a truly awesome machine. Reduce stress and avoid stress-related illnesses. Foster healthy thinking habits to boost efficiency. Build your expertise with renewed focus and stamina Drive innovation through productive collaboration

A brain that can change, adapt, lead, and collaborate to operate with a high level of flexibility, agility, and creativity is a brain that will serve you well now and into the future. "Future Brain" turns neuroscience into actionable steps, helping you to train your brain to achieve high-performance in all areas of life.

I picked up this book because I’ve been asked to read and review it for a client, but I was pleasantly surprised by its contents, even if it did drag for a little while. I think part of the problem is that Brockis separates the book into twelve key areas and gives each of those areas a chapter, when sometimes there just isn’t enough content to fill them up.

Still, if you want to learn more about how to be your best, especially with the backing of a medical practitioner and a number of authoritative studies, this book is a pretty good one for you to check out. I was actually quite impressed by how thorough the medical side of the research was, to the point at which I even gave it the time of day when it talked about stuff like meditation and mindfulness even though I’ve historically been a skeptic. Perhaps part of that is because of a friend of mine is a bit of a hippie and she’s been starting to show me how it can all help out in practice.

If you only read one or two business books per year then don’t bother with this one, but it’s certainly worth picking up if you just can’t get enough and you’re constantly looking for an extra edge. So there’s that.

Great book, but with some generic tips.

Eat healthy. Exercise. Sleep quality.
