Book Preview: 

#1 This book is about how to learn in harmony with your brain. It is now possible to write an easy-to-read, research-based book on this topic because scientists have developed highly effective tools for looking inside the human brain.

#2 Your brain changes when you learn something new. Learning takes energy, so don’t underestimate the energy consumed by your brain when you learn.

#3 Your brain changes when you learn something new. To form lasting memories, practice needs to happen over extended periods. The more work your brain does, the more connections it establishes, and the more permanent memories you will create.

#4 The brain needs to be prepped for learning in order for it to work at its best. This means avoiding simple carbohydrates, which are found in pastries, white bread, and pasta, and instead rely on complex carbohydrates found in fruits, whole grains, and vegetables. The brain needs a lot of water.
