Brain Rules: 12 Principles for Surviving and Thriving at Work, Home, and School by John Medina
Most of us have no idea what's really going on inside our heads. Yet brain scientists have uncovered details every business leader, parent, and teacher should know - for instance, that physical activity helps to get your brain working at its best.
How do we learn? What do sleep and stress do to our brains? Why is multitasking a myth? Why is it so easy to forget - and so important to repeat new information?
In Brain Rules, Dr John Medina, a molecular biologist, shares his lifelong interest in brain science, and how it can influence he way we teach our children and the way we work. In each chapter, he describes a brain rule - what scientists know for sure about how our brains work - and then offers transformative ideas for our daily lives.
