I haven’t finished the book yet, but I’m about halfway through. Every time I sit to read I have to put it down because I just keep reading. There is so much to reference here.
– Brain diseases, how to deal with them.
– How to feed your brain for optimum performance.
– How to approach situations depending on the personality of other people.
– Amazing leadership information.
– Amazing performance information.
To simplify: It gives you fact- (study-)based information, then it asks “so what?,” and then answers that question. It’s a cross between functionality and theory. Easy to read, hard to put down.

Das Buch enthält ein umfangreiches Wissen in den verschiedensten Bereichen der Psychologie und Neurologie, was für den Laien verständlich aber nicht zu leicht verfasst ist. Möchte man sein Leben optimieren, ist das Buch ein wichtiges Hilfsmittel dazu. Besonders beim Verstehen der Hintergründe einer verbesserten Lebensgestaltung, glänzt das Buch mit hilfreichen Darstellungen.

THis book is great. It will take me a while to read it and digest what it says. Then it will be a reference book I reach for often.

Good Book to read for any person whether you have a science background or not. I just focus on the highlighted points in the book as i have a science background and little but of neuroscience.
