Super Brain: Strategies to Upgrade Your Brain, Unlock Your Potential, Perform at Your Peak, and Achieve Anything
Practical methods to fully utilize your brain. Learn how it works and you can harness it to the fullest!
This is a book about practical neuroscience. That means that while it is scientifically-based, it gets down to how you can compensate for your brain's evolutionary habits and excel in spite of them. Our brains are stuck in the year 10,000 BC, so let's find out how to make that work for us.
A combination of applied psychology and self-help techniques.
Super Brain is a unique look at your brain. First, we take a quick tour of the brain's most important (and also annoying) structures and aspects. Then, we take the shortcut to addressing many of the brain's shortcomings with strategies designed to work with them seamlessly. Think of Super Brain as 20% textbook (only the essentials!) and 80% field guide to navigating the world in a better, more efficient, and smarter way.
How to stop being a slave to your brain and take charge!
Peter Hollins has studied psychology and peak human performance for over a dozen years and is a bestselling author. He has worked with dozens of individuals to unlock their potential and path towards success. His writing draws on his academic, coaching, and research experience. Oddly enough, neuroscience was his favorite class in school, and he has found how to apply that same information to real life situations.
Build the best habits that you never knew you needed.A brief guide to the universe inside our headsHow to deal with the brain's imperfections, one by oneIncreasing your attention span strategically and boosting willpowerHow to disengage the brain's autopilot function and become more presentThe lessons we can glean from Pavlov's dogsHow to deeply process information into your memoryThe brain's odd learning and forgetting tendencies

to dość krótki poradnik o tym, jak usprawnić funkcjonowanie naszego najważniejszego organu - mózgu !
Zdradza jednak trochę więcej, bo wspomina o rzeczach kluczowych - czyli teorii. Dowiemy się między innymi o neuroplastyczności, sposobach funkcjonowania szarych komórek i o tym, czemu łatwiej nam zapamiętać piosenkę, którą słyszeliśmy na pierwszej randce, niż materiał na najważniejszy egzamin.
Książka podzielona jest na tematyczne rozdziały - co usprawnia czytanie, bo mogłam pominąć to, co już wiem. Jest też pisana bardzo prostym językiem, nada się więc dla każdego, kto ma chęć zgłębić temat.
Nie mniej, jest to raczej poradnik dla początkujących - znawcy tematu mogą nie odkryć tu nowości.
