Yet brain scientists have uncovered details every business leader, parent, and teacher should know--such as the brain's need for physical activity to work at its best. How do we learn? What exactly do sleep and stress do to our brains? Why is multi-tasking a myth? Why is it so easy to forget--and so important to repeat new information? Is it true that men and women have different brains? In Brain Rules, molecular biologist Dr. John Medina shares his lifelong interest in how the brain sciences might influence the way we teach our children and the way we work. In each chapter, he describes a brain rule--what scientists know for sure about how our brains work--and then offers transformative ideas for our daily lives. Medina's fascinating stories and sense of humor breathe life into brain science. You'll learn why Michael Jordan was no good at baseball. You'll peer over a surgeon's shoulder as he finds, to his surprise, that we have a Jennifer Aniston neuron. You'll meet a boy who has an amazing memory for music but can't tie his own shoes. 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. About the DVD The Brain Rules DVD, included with this book, is a lively tour of the 12 brain rules. You will experience firsthand Medina's rare gift for making science fun, accessible, and relevant. The DVD will take your understanding of the book to the next level. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Outstanding tips with a sense of humorThis author, a well educated neuroscientist, has that rare ability to combine scientific wisdom, common sense and a sense of humor into a cocktail that goes down easy and creates a very pleasant feeling, but doesn't make you stupid. You then know what you need to do to be healthier, live longer and feel better. The rest is up to you. Rating: - Brain Rules: RULE!Brain Rules is a great book - Medina takes a complex subject (your brain) and makes it seem understandable. His twelve rules are a roadmap for teachers, business people, politicos and really anyone trying to communicate to an audience. I highly recommend this book if you are in any of the above groups. It is light on science and heavy on practical use. If it isn't a mandatory book for every would-be professor it should be. The book has great practical advice - one such hint on ...

Anybody looking to further their knowledge on how our wonderful devices (brains) work in correlation to many of our daily functions should give this one a chance...and I'm only half-way in! Rating: - This Should Be Required Reading For All K-12 TeachersThe Title for this Review says it all. The information in the book is like a roadmap from AAA. Beyond being highly knowledgable, the author is humorous, compassionate and very engaging, whether you have the print edition or the audio CD edition, which I have. Seldom before have I enjoyed learning so much! What a refreshing read! A very adequate citations list is given for all readers and listeners who go to a website that is revealed on the included DVD. Rating: - According to developmental molecular biologist John Medina, there are twelve simple rules about the brain we know to be fact.Book Review: Brain Rules by John Medina What do we know for sure about the brain? Well, though scientists and researchers uncover new information and present new theories at a remarkable rate, according to developmental molecular biologist John Medina, there are twelve simple rules about the brain we know to be fact. My favorites are Rule #1: Exercise boosts brain power; Rule #7: Sleep well, think well; and Rule #8: Stressed brains don't learn the same way. In addition, Medina ... Read More
