This Should Be Required Reading For All K-12 Teachers

The 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.

Knowing The Brain is Great for Business

If you sell anything, need to persuade others, or desire career advancement, you must study this book. Medina's own attractive approach to serious science supports my belief that too many business speeches and presentations are counter-productive to the desired goals. When you want to make a point, convey a serious message and motivate others, you must attract them through the way their brains work. Don't be boring.

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 offers the clearest reader-friendly explanation I've come across of the stress response and how stress damages our blood vessels, leading to heart attacks and strokes.
Interesting anecdotes from his personal life and clinical experience engage the reader and surround the cutting edge information presented in this inviting and page-turning "good read."
The book comes with an accompanying DVD that encapsulates the chapters in sound and moving pictures (see Rule #10: Vision trumps all other senses).
I recommend Brain Rules for the lay person and the health professional, to gain understanding about this most complex body organ.

A great read, John Medina does a great job !!

This book is amazing in the fact that John Median makes tough hard science easy to understand, drawing easy to understand analogies and using anecdotes.
The first chapter is imperative, in the fact it allows us to understand why exercise and especially aerobic exercise is paramount, he does not though say much about mental exercise, something I believe is equally significant.
The rest of the book is interesting, but what is really nice about this book is that Medina knows how to write a book every now and then he will stun the reader with short stories, hence capturing and revitalizing interest.
