Book Reviews of Brain Rules: 12 Principles for Surviving and Thriving at Work, Home, and School (Book & DVD)
Book Review: A book for anyone with a brain -
Summary: 5 Stars
Most reviewers are focusing on this book as an enhanced performance or heightened productivity title, but John constantly refers to our early ancestors, and how various sensory and information-processing functions of the body (with the brain at the center) developed to insure our survival. This has made me think of the book more in terms of health and wellness. Although not promoting a "smart diet" or "smart drugs", he clearly illustrates that attention to these rules makes for a happy brain, and therefore better overall bodily functioning and behavior that will most likely be in the brain's self interest. That's health.
This is no "think yourself healthy, rich and into a great relationship" tome, like so many others. It is a simple and entertaining look at what neuroscience is learning about our behavior from the standpoint of the brain. Anyone can benefit from the information contained herein, whether in business, sports & health, the IT profession (people should be required to read this before they get service with an internet host LOL), performing and visual arts, culinary arts - you name it. It is an excellent course in human behavior. I have recommended it to everyone I know.
