You: The Owner?s Manual for the brain: an expert, comprehensive, and lively guide that makes sense of all the latest scientific findings about how your brain really works.

We are using our brains at practically every moment of our lives, and yet few of us have the first idea how they work. Much of what we think we know comes from folklore: that we only use 10 percent of our brain, or that drinking kills brain cells. These and other brain myths are wrong, as demonstrated by the work of neuroscientists who have spent decades studying this complex organ. However, most of what scientists have learned is not known to the world outside their laboratories.

In this readable, lively book, Sandra Aamodt and Sam Wang dispel common myths about the brain and provide a comprehensive, useful overview of how it really works. In its pages, you?ll discover how to cope with jet lag, how your brain affects your religion, and how men?s and women?s brains differ. With witty, accessible prose decorated by charts, trivia, quizzes, and illustrations, this book is great for quick reference or extended reading.

Both practical and fun, Welcome to Your Brain is perfect whether you want to impress your friends or simply use your brain better.

Answers Questions That One Would Not Even Think About

Welcome to Your Brain is unique in it's ability to fully explain each topic with both example and description. When one reads a book like this, you first go to topics that you have personal interest in such as an event within you family that you would like to learn more about. I found numerous occassions in reading through the chapters, where I would learn something new which caused me to think about how unique the brain really is. Demistifying common misconceptions on the brain was an awakening. Almost like a good novel, can't put it down!
