Though the information doesn't really help us improve our behavior or deal with challenges like many self-help books do, this book is science. We understand why we are the way we are by studying the inner workings of what we are. It's. interesting. We don't have to know how a computer works in order to operate it. We use our brain without knowing how or why it's working too. This book teaches us the underlying operation of something we take for granted every day. This is an awesome book. A decent reference book for the latest (at least up to the year 2009) findings in brain research, covering the full gamut of topics: cognition, behavior, brain health, personality, lifespan, the creative impulse, spirituality, etc.

My main issue with the book is that it reflects the author's experience as a management consultant (which he states in the preface), so it has a psychology-for-the-workplace bias to it; whereas I was looking for somet A decent reference book for the latest (at least up to the year 2009) findings in brain research, covering the full gamut of topics: cognition, behavior, brain health, personality, lifespan, the creative impulse, spirituality, etc. Plus, the only theory of personality Howard presents is the Five-Factor Model, a methodology for which he offers training and certification for human resources personnel at the research center he and his wife run. In other words, the target audience is the non-specialist who wants to know how things work, and how to make them work better.

After all, you can only cover so much material when you are limited to 1000 pages or so.Clear explanations of many issues related to brain science. A good reference. Encyclopedic presentation with cross referencings -- well organized but vastly oversimplified. Rather than a casual lecture, it is a true manual for those interested in improving brain health. Covers from dietary intake to learning techniques, the biological differences between men and women, how genetics and brain chemistry affect not only our health but our daily behaviour, etc. You won't read this book on one sitting; it's more of a reference manual you want to keep around for re-reading it when needed. Totally recommended!

It is an owner's manual -- not detailed enough to let you build a brain, but a good enough overview of well-researched facts for any owner of a brain to be able to learn many, many important and useful things about the brain that they are. I strongly recommend it to teachers at It is an owner's manual -- not detailed enough to let you build a brain, but a good enough overview of well-researched facts for any owner of a brain to be able to learn many, many important and useful things about the brain that they are. I strongly recommend it to teachers at all levels, and students at all levels. For example, Howard reviews the importance of sleep in the formation of long term memory, how the sleep cycle works, the negative impact of e.g. sleep apnea and other disorders, the importance of sleep in learning and combatting disease, strategies for dealing with shift work and time zone changes, all in a single short chapter in a very long book. The book is encyclopedic in scope, and every chapter fairly drips with facts and with references to the original work from which the facts are drawn. Since the last twenty five years have been critical in the study of how the brain learns and how we can best use our brains to learn informed by that new knowledge, books like this are invaluable to the educator and the student seeking to increase their efficiency as a learner. However, it is equally useful to people seeking to quit smoking, people trying to figure out their children and why they behave the way that they do, people trying to cope with and minimize the negative effects of aging on the brain, and much more. rgb Do you think before you act. Do you really know how to ponder things? Pierce J. Howard does. As the director of research at a cognitive science center, he has developed a truly practical, well-organized book about the brain, complete with information on how to think more effectively.

You can put his specific, helpful reporting to work to boost your mental prowess and overall health.Real, recent research, not dumbed down but distilled to be very readable, and all with a down to earth tone. The message is something like: yes, people are complicated and often mysterious, but actually the people who study people and their brains have gathered up a fair amount of information, some of which can actually be put to use in everyday life. There's a lot of interesting Real, recent research, not dumbed down but distilled to be very readable, and all with a down to earth tone. There's a lot of interesting information, and I think it succeeds at providing some practical suggestions and a healthy perspective on what to expect from one's own and others' brains. I refer back to it often. Check out page 236 on Hormones and Emotions. Men experience hormonal fluxes as well as women and it affects the brains of both. Neurons that fire together wire together, therefore if we conceive it we creat it. I learned a lot about sex differences, the physiological effects of alcohol, and how to keep my cabeza's co-pilot running smoothly. Though not written by a medical professional, Mr. Howard cites his work efficiently. I use it for reference. I think the brain is fascinating! I like the applications he includes and the knowledge is given from all ends of the topic. Very useful and applicable information. Based entirely on research.

Here the reader gets a short list of suggestions how to act based on the facts he just learnt and it also contains cross links to other parts within the book. This is an excellent idea to motivate people to do something with the knowledge. The concise style made me wonder a bit how much the author can be trusted. True, he has a Ph.D., but how up-to-date is he. It's always clear if something is the consensus among scientists, if there are other trends to watch out for or if we get the personal opinion of the author.In other words, the target audience is the non-specialist who wants to know how things work, and how to make them work better.

It is meant as source to dip into and look into various brain related topics like wikipedia. It is not meant to be read straight through which is exactly what I did. As an information source it is useful and should be used as such. But it was a long read. Happy to be able to finish. There was a lot to learn. Some of which I remember and that is an achievement. He sifts through the material and finds the little tidbits that most apply to certain situations. The book is organized in such a manner that it is easy to find the information you desire. It is split into seven parts that are further subdivided into chapters. Let's say you want to read something on the aging brain, particularly on memory and how that is affected. You would go to part 2 chapter 6 section 8, whi He sifts through the material and finds the little tidbits that most apply to certain situations. You would go to part 2 chapter 6 section 8, which is called Memory and Aging. Depending on the depth of the subject, it could be anywhere from a paragraph to an entire series of pages. Following the preliminary information is a series of applicable suggestions. Some of them are obviously designed for people that are building classrooms or other types of environment, and that doesn't really relate to me. However, it was quite interesting to learn about the different things that affect learning. It is hard to think of any part of brain science that Dr. Howard has not covered in this tome. The bibliography alone is 28 pages in length, and he frequently mentions outside sources that one can refer to. This is a marvelously well-done book. This book goes very in depth on each topic covered!

The evidence suggests that most people summon strengths that surpass their own expectations.

The evidence suggests that most people summon strengths that surpass their own expectations. It's more fun to fly a plane, sail a boat, or ride a mountain bike when you use what you know about how these things work and apply that knowledge to the new options you discover through your new knowledge. Intelligence is not fixed and what you do, think, hear, read, practice, visualize, taste, and smell all change your brain. Neurology Now: Publication of the American Academy of Neurology Cover Story Neuroplasticity refers to physical changes in your brain that result from your thoughts, environment, the emotions you feel, and the things you do. These brain changes are predominantly in the connections between your neurons. The more a network of neurons that holds a memory (information or procedural memory) is activated the stronger it becomes. When you return to a memory or repeat an action enough, new connections form such as dendrites and synapses. The existing connections (axons) that carry information from a neuron to the next even acquire more layers of myelin that act like insulation on an electric wire. This increased myelin means the electrical impulses of the memory travel faster and more efficiently because the electric charge is more protected from leaking out. They can't get enough of it. (I wish it were as easy to get them excited about adding fractions.) It is neuro- LOGICAL to want to know how your body's most powerful tool actually works and how you can change it to amp up the horsepower like T im the Toolman, on the television show H ome Improvement, or set it to a new default state so at rest it is calm and alert instead of frazzled and stressed out. It turns out to be a matter of strengthening the circuits used the most so practice makes permanent! This is also true of my neurology patients who have lost function due to brain disease or trauma.

Through neuroplasticity, their brains construct new neural networks in undamaged parts regions to take over the job of the brain damaged regions. Stimulating a neural circuit holding information makes it stronger. It is so empowering when they learn that practice, and review of information changes their brain and makes memory stronger just like practicing an instrument makes them better players, practice shooting free throws increases their likelihood of success, and exercising muscles makes them bigger and stronger. Once I started making connections between my two professions the links became clear. It wasn't until a few years later that I realized that my students could also understand how their brains learn and use that knowledge for self-empowerment. Now I know about growing dendrites when I study and get a good night sleep. Now when I think about watching TV or reviewing my notes I tell myself that I have the power to grow brain cells if I review. I'd still rather watch TV, but I do the review because I want my brain to grow smarter.I assign homework that has them make hypotheses and then experiment with different homework strategies and conditions (with and without music, text messaging, frequent snack breaks, planned exercise breaks, working in bed or at a desk, doing homework early or late, studying all at once or reviewing small sections each day). They collect their own data and compare their findings with those we collect as a class. They construct their own, personalized brain owner's manuals. Now I even get the hard problems right because I don't get frustrated the minute I don't understand something.It feels so good to know I have the power to be smart.Brain exercise therapy through exercise, and thinking is said to make physical changes in the brain. CPS is recommended not only as Dr Greene the author of ' The explosive child and others, says to help promote lacking skills, but CPS makes actual positive physical changes in the brain.

Parts Two and Three deal with subjects like sleep, music, and sex, which affect everybody every day; therefore, we suggest that all readers, regardless of their roles, would benefit from the materials in these chapters. Tomes about the mind and brain pepper the shelves of airport kiosks and bookstores from Phoenix to Philly. The available books about the brain can be divided into two categories: research reports and practical applications. Neurobiology texts belong in the first category, and how-to books ( How to Increase Your Memory, How to Be More Creative ) belong in the second. This book serves to create an explicit overlap between these two categories. Research books generally decline to identify the everyday applicability of their findings—indeed, that is not their purpose. Practical books usually avoid the explicit connection between a piece of advice and its basis in research.
