Medina's 12 Brain Rules + 3

 

Would you change the way you work, play or live … if you looked into cutting edge brain rules illustrated by John Medina?

In his new book, Brain Rules: 12 Principles for surviving and Thriving at Work, Home and School Medina shows us how to be happier and more effective.
  

Here’s the skinny:

1. Exercise boosts brain power.Brain%20rules.jpg
2. The human brain evolved too.
3. Every brain is wired differently.
4. We don’t pay attention to boring things.
5. Repeat to remember.
6. Remember to repeat.
7. Sleep well, think well.
8. Stressed brains don’t learn the same way.
9. Stimulate more of the senses.
10. Vision trumps all of the senses.
11. Male and female brains differ,
12. We are powerful and natural explorers.

I’d add 3 brain rules:

13. Music rewires your brain.
14. Brains require workouts – not lectures.
15. Venting makes a problem worse.  

Medina raises some interesting challenges about living more of what the brain does best. Once science shows us what brains are capable of … the next step is to live by any of the principles that will improve well being or success.

Would you add any rules to the list?

Here's another - eat the right foods for cardiovascular health because if brain vessels are clogged, you lose brainpower.

Yes! That reminds me to get some breakfast - with that in mind! I hope coffee holds cardivascular health too:-)though! Thanks Robyn!

Actually, Ellen, recent research shows coffee is good for the brain.

Cool -- because that adds another bonus to those beans!

I would add, reboot your hardrive. Change methods and get some new insights on old routines. Thats the best way to keep your mind fresh and on the cutting edge!
