Brain scientists have uncovered a lot of details about our brains that every business leader, parent, and teacher should know. But, these details have remained only inside peer reviewed journals and within the scientific community. Medina's main goal of writing this book was to bring this research to the forefront in a simple to understand manner. Medina has done an excellent job doing this.
In Brain Rules, you will discover how:
Every brain is wired differently
Exercise improves cognition
We are designed to never stop learning and exploring
Memories are volatile
Sleep is powerfully linked with the ability to learn
Vision trumps all of the other senses
Stress changes the way we learn
In the end, you’ll understand how your brain really works—and how to get the most out of it.
Like a true scientist, Medina has made sure that these rules are absolutely the rules that have proven scientific research to back them up.
Brain Rules
Exercise - Rule #1: Exercise boosts brain power.
Survival - Rule #2: The human brain evolved, too.
Wiring - Rule #3: Every brain is wired differently.

If you don't have time to read the book, the Brain Rules website provides charts, illustrations, and videos to reinforce the brain rules and ideas.
