We use our brain every moment, and yet only a few of us understand how it works. Most of what we think we know comes from "common knowledge" which is not always true...Why is it that we never forget how to drive a car but can lose the keys to it? Is it true that you can memorize all the material right before the exam? Will a baby become smarter if he listens to classical music in the womb? Are we killing our brain cells by drinking alcohol? Do men and women think differently? Our brain can answer these and many other questions. A deep and fascinating book written by outstanding American neuroscientists invites us to learn more about this mysterious “natural mechanism.” A minimum of scientificity - a maximum of interesting information and useful facts related to the most relevant topics; personal life, education, career, health. A nice bonus is funny illustrations.
