Building Mental Muscle

Meer over het boek

This revised edition of Building Mental Muscle distills the most recent findings in brain research into accessible mini-reports from the frontlines of cognitive science. With the aid of fun exercises and self-tests designed to stimulate cells in different areas of brain function, the authors introduce readers to six "intelligence zones"—overlapping areas of cognitive skills: executive/social, memory, emotional, language, math, and spatial. By understanding how the brain works, you will be on your way to learning: Simple lifestyle changes to boost neuron development and improve memory. Ways to change mood without drugs or therapy. The differences in how male and female brains process information. How brains respond to stress, solve problems, recognize faces, and handle fear. Techniques for reversing the decline of cognitive skills as you age. So, don't feel you're stuck with the brain you were issued. Build for the future by building mental muscle.
