Optimize your brainpower and performance with practical tools
and skills
The human brain is constantly rewiring its 160 billion cells,
continually and imperceptibly changing the way we think. Because of
that, we can fundamentally change the way our brains work–for
the better. Sort Your Brain Out shows you how to re-wire
your brain to be more creative, make better decisions, improve your
mood and memory, manage stress, and stave off senility. The book
explains how the brain works and what you can do every day to
subtly alter your behaviours, beliefs, and motivations to create
positive change in your life and health.
* Presents tools and exercises for maximizing your brain
power
* Written by brain scientist and television personality Dr. Jack
Lewis and motivational speaker Adrian Webster
* Includes brain-powered self-help advice that will improve your
mood, help you deal with stress, and be better and smarter at work
or in your everyday life
In Sort Your Brain Out, you’ll discover how to shape and
control the most adaptable organ in your body to think more
creatively, keep your memory sharp, and live a better life on a
daily basis.
