Welcome to Your Brain: The Science of Jet Lag, Love and Other Curiosities of Life

Not a book to read cover-to-cover. Best to dip into chapters as the need hits you. But I learned a lot, even though I took courses in the brain many, many years ago. Really brought me up to date. But you do not need a background in anything much to enjoy the book.

Great book. Very informative (despite not being up to date. What’s understandable as new discoveries are been made everyday). The concepts are scientifically based.

The book contains entertaining description of the results of scientific research in the field of neuroscience using a method called meta-analysis.The author's style is highly entertaining, but it also contains real life advice as far as how to protect your brain, what works, what doesn't, etc.I only give 4 stars as some of the topics overlap with the author's other book: Welcome to your child's brain.Also the kindle edition is sometimes hard to follow as the little aside stories (which would be in boxes in the print edition) are ont seperated well visually making the jumping around a bit hard and confusing.
