'Brilliant. A fascinating insight' – Jim Kwik, New York Times bestselling author of Limitless

In Braintenance, neuroscientist and communicator Dr Julia Ravey empowers you to change habits, reach your goals and have more control of your life with practical, research-led methods.

Your brain likes to keep you safely in your comfort zone. And that is what holds you back.

We have no trouble imagining the goals we would like to achieve – a healthier lifestyle, passing exams or embarking on a new career ­– but turning them into reality is far harder. Dr Julia Ravey explains the practical methods that will enable you to transform your life for the better.

With techniques drawn from decades of research in science and psychology, Dr Ravey explains the practical methods that will enable you to transform your life for the better. including:

• Directing your focus • Prioritizing processes • Beating procrastination

Braintenance will help you understand your thinking, change your habits and take control over your life, whatever the task at hand. Because change is good. Your brain just needs some more convincing.

Readers love Braintenance: 'Incredibly empowering' 'Braintenance teaches us how to take control' 'Loved this . . . easy and well-explained' 'Makes neuroscience really accessible to readers, with easy-to-follow explanations and lots of research to back up the points made'
