위기 극복의 출발점, ‘두뇌’에서 찾아라!
머리에서 발끝까지, 우리를 움직이는 12가지 두뇌 법칙!
12가지 브레인 룰스, 즉 두뇌 법칙을 통해 두뇌의 기본 작동 원리를 밝히고, 그것이 모두의 삶을 변화시킬 열쇠임을 깨닫게 해줄 심리 교양서이자 과학적인 자기계발서. 우리는 과연 두뇌에 관해서 얼마나 제대로 알고 있으며, 얼마나 정확하게 생활에 활용할까? 자신도 모르게 두뇌를 철저히 외면하고 있지는 않을까?
미국 현대 뇌과학의 전문가 존 메디나가 집필하고, 세계경제포럼이 ‘2009년을 이끌 차세대 리더’로 선정한 카이스트의 정재승 교수가 감수한 이 책은 바로 위와 같은 현실에 의문을 품은 사람들을 위한 ‘두뇌 지식 보고서’다. 과학적 지식 자체가 아니라, 두뇌과학을 이용해 보다 효율적으로 아이들을 가르치고, 일의 효율을 높이는 등 과학에 기초를 둔 효율적인 두뇌 활용법을 소개한다.

Most of us have no idea what's really going on inside our heads. Yet brain scientists have uncovered details every business leader, parent, and teacher should know-such as the brain's need for physical activity to work at its best.
How do we learn? What exactly do sleep and stress do to our brains? Why is multi-tasking a myth? Why is it so easy to forget-and so important to repeat new knowledge? Is it true that men and women have different brains?
In Brain Rules, molecular biologist Dr. John Medina shares his lifelong interest in how the brain sciences might influence the way we teach our children and the way we work. In each chapter, he describes a Brain Rule-what scientists know for sure about how our brains work-and then offers transformative ideas for our daily lives.
Medina's fascinating stories and sense of humor breathe life into brain science. You'll learn why Michael Jordan was no good at baseball. You'll peer over a surgeon's shoulder as he finds, to his surprise, that we have a Jennifer Aniston neuron. You'll meet a boy who has an amazing memory for music but can't tie his own shoes.
You will discover how:
?Exercise improves cognition
?Every brain is wired differently
?We are designed never to stop learning and exploring
?Memories are volatile and susceptible to corruption
?Sleep is powerfully linked with the ability to learn
?Vision trumps all of the other senses
?Stress changes the way we learn
In the end, you'll understand how your brain really works-and how to get the most out of it.
