Dr. John Medina is a biologist and a research consultant who reveals an lifelong interest that describes how the brain sciences predetermines how we live ours lives. In his book; Brain Rules: 12 Principles for Surviving and Thriving at Work, School, and Home; Medina exposes facts everyoneshould know about getting our brains active to improve daily living. He uncovers how we learn, how stress and our sleeping patterns effect our brains, and why it's so vital for us to indulge in repetition.
Each chapter describes a rule and what scientists know about our brains regarding that rule, and then Medina presents ideas and exercises to excerise and transform day to day lives.
