THINK BEFORE YOU THINK: UNDERSTANDING YOUR BRAIN (HB)

Why is it that some people breeze through life with the mental clarity of a chess grandmaster, while others struggle to organize their thoughts or even remember where they left their keys? Through a set of processes called executive functions, our brains drive everything over the course of our lives. This book presents a remarkable picture of both the brain’s brilliance and its fragility, providing practical advice on maintaining our executive functions at every stage of our lives. In doing so, it brings readers to a closer understanding of what it is that makes each of us human.
