Brain Power - Ron Kness - Bog

Our brains are what we use for the majority of careers these days, they are what we use to manage our relationships and they are what we use to handle money, navigate, learn and more.So if you're going to spend time training your body, it only stands to reason that you should spend at least the same amount of time training your brain.So why aren't more people already training their brains? Largely, this comes down to the fact that many people don't realize quite the extent to which their brains can be trained, or quite the extent to which their brain function can be improved through simply following the best health practices - through the right nutrition, lifestyle and more.And more to the point, most people are completely unaware of just how unhealthy their current routine is for their brain. They have no idea that the things they're doing every single day are actually damaging their brains. And not only does this prevent those people from performing optimally every day but it could also lead to a higher chance of dementia or Alzheimer's. Just think what you could accomplish if instead of degrading and abusing your brain, you instead focussed on nourishing it, training it and helping it to grow. You might just become limitless...This book then will serve as a basic primer and introduction to your brain, as well as an advanced guide to how you can develop it and nurture it. We will cover everything from the basics of how the brain functions and good nutrition, all the way to much more advanced topics such as smart drugs and 'embodied cognition'.
