LIVING A MORE THOUGHTFUL LIFE IBD

Sinopse

'Most experts agree that practicing a new and challenging mental activity like this is a clever way of building and maintaining strong cognitive skills. When you strengthen these core skills, your brain more effectively thinks, reads, learns, remembers and reason. This leads to improved communications and decision-making skills - the keys to most of lifeâÇÖs personal and professional successes.' In this book, we share and shed light on fifty-twoá'thinkable thoughts'áthat can strengthen your brain-based skills. Byá'thinkable,'áwe are referring to insightful thoughts that ignite oneâÇÖs imagination and can easily be regarded as conceivable, feasible and beneficial in many aspects of your personal and professional life. The thoughts we have included in this book constitute a way of thinking, that our experiences have taught us to be valuable in decision-making and engaging with others. Each of the thoughts are crafted to provide a distinctively humanizing and simplifying approach to gaining a broader perspective on some of the most familiar challenges we all face today within a contentious, competitive, social media-driven, and unforgiving society. Societal challenges that can be conquered and transformed into opportunities by simply living a more thoughtful life. HOW YOU WILL BENEFIT The benefits you will receive from the time you spend reading and digesting the thoughts and reflections will depend upon you. If you just enjoy reading this book, and pick up a few nuggets of insight, you will find yourself ahead of the pack when facing one of the challenges associated with the thoughts and reflections. If you take the time to document and execute a plan that will help you integrate the essence surrounding each thought into how you see the world on a daily basis, we believe that you will benefit greatly from this inspiring and strengthening mental exercise. According to Dr. John N. Morris, director of social and health policy research at the Harvard-affiliated Institute for Aging Research: 'Your brain has the ability to learn and grow as you age - a process called brain plasticity - but for it to do so, you have to train it on a regular basis. Eventually, your cognitive skills will wane and thinking and memory will be more challenging, so you need to build up your reserve. Embracing a new activity that also forces you to think and learn and requires ongoing practice can be one of the best ways to keep the brain healthy.' In either case, by spending some time with this book, you will benefit, and move a little closer to living a more thoughtful life.
