"Whenever I would check out a book at the library and I really loved it, I had this habit of going and getting a copy for my mom. I got her this one about 20 years ago. It still sits on her shelf.
Man, this is a good book. It tells the physiological details of the human brain, what makes it work and why and how we use it to get through the day. Fascinating. Though the information doesn't really help us improve our behavior or deal with challenges like many self-help books do, this book is science. We understand why we are the way we are by studying the inner workings of what we are. It's .... interesting. We don't have to know how a computer works in order to operate it. We use our brain without knowing how or why it's working too. This book teaches us the underlying operation of something we take for granted every day.
Do you use your head? Do you think before you act? Do you really know how to ponder things? Pierce J. Howard does. As the director of research at a cognitive science center, he has developed a truly practical, well-organized book about the brain, complete with information on how to think more effectively. He details, in a fascinating, comprehensive fashion, the latest knowledge about mind-brain functioning. You can put his specific, helpful reporting to work to boost your mental prowess and overall health. getAbstract recommends this excellent book to readers who want to know how their thinking works, and to learn how to improve and protect their brainpower."
"Not the sort of thing I'm inclined to read cover to cover, but I've been dipping into it a lot lately and it's great. Real, recent research, not dumbed down but distilled to be very readable, and all with a down to earth tone. The message is something like: yes, people are complicated and often mysterious, but actually the people who study people and their brains have gathered up a fair amount of information, some of which can actually be put to use in everyday life. There's a lot of interesting information, and I think it succeeds at providing some practical suggestions and a healthy perspective on what to expect from one's own and others' brains."
