Hard Wired: A Practical Guide To Training Your Mind
What if you could have a personal trainer for your mind? Most people think about health from the neck down, but we cannot ignore the health of our mind. As humans we are the ultimate adaption machine. We can rewire our brains to completely change the way we think about things. Training our mind is critical to health and happiness, yet it remains something few people actively do.
Hard Wired provides a practical training framework for working towards optimal mental performance. The Mind Skill Tree framework includes seven crucial elements for developing our mind and brain health — learning, health, mindset, mental toughness, managing emotions, decision making, and flow.
Inside the book you'll learn:
* How to assess your current mental performance
* The research and science behind training your mind
* A newfound appreciation for the role your brain and mind play in your life
* A practical mental training framework you can implement
* How to set yourself up for success by using the power of the mind
Whether you are studying for finals, looking to make better decisions at work, trying to manage your emotions during intense gaming matches, or just looking at improving your overall brain function and performance, this book is for you.
Everything you are going to learn in Hard Wired is designed to set you up for success, but it's not a quick fix. Much like physical training, mind training is a lifelong endeavor that evolves over time, but you can begin the journey right now.

A practical, easy-to-read pathway to a stronger mind.
The author combines his own story and experiences with multiple external references and research studies to provide extremely practical advice and good tips on mind training.
This is a good introduction to the basics of learning how to become more focused, make better decisions, and generate improved outcomes. The book provides a solid foundation with practical tips and clearly explained techniques for building a stronger mind.
I do have two qualms, however. First, 30% of the book is the appendix, which consists mostly of footnote references and citations. This made the book feel less than worthy of its price. Second, numerous grammatical errors starting popping up in the last third of the core content, almost as if an editor had stopped reading two-thirds of the way through, or the last third was rushed and unedited.
Overall though, it is an easy-to-read book and worth a read for those interested in improving one’s mental capabilities.
