Hacking Your Brain

Since the first Brain Rules book came out in 2009, I've been a big fan of Dr. John Medina. John is one of the clearest voices on how we can leverage our brain to achieve peak performance at work and beyond. John recently released the newest book in the Brain Rules franchise: Brain Rules for Aging Well: 10 Principles for Staying Vital, Happy, and Sharp

John's 10 principles that apply to all of us, regardless of age, include:

• Social Brain
• • Your friendships
  • Your happiness
• Thinking Brain
• • Your stress
  • Your memory
  • Your mind
  • Your mind: Alzheimer's
• Body and Brain
• • Your food and exercise
  • Your sleep
• Future Brain
• • Your longevity
  • Your retirement

You'll find out what brain science says is the best age to retire. And regardless of your age, you'll find practical insights to help you thrive. Learn more about the Brain Rules books at http://brainrules.net/. Here are the other books in the Brain Rules family:
