The Neuroscience of You

Sinopse

With a witty and offbeat style and real-world examples, tests, and quizzes, Chantel Prat explains exactly how our brains are different, how to can both identify our own strengths and weaknesses in learning and in life, and change for the better. With sections such as How We Think, How We Learn, and How We Communicate, The Neuroscience of You will help readers understand and explain how we see the world, but also how others do so differently, creating both a new, fascinating conversation and an accessible, appealing book that will appeal to both readers and reviewers. Many books have been published explaining how ''the'' brain works - how we all learn, process information, and see and experience the world. But as University of Washington''s Chantel Prat explains it, that''s far from the whole story. As her unique and surprising research has revealed, every brain is actually very different, both in structure and in function. There''s actually a reason that some people learn languages easily and some are drawn to maths, that rewards work well for many and but less so for others, and even a reason why some people saw that internet-famous dress as white and gold while others saw it as blue and black.
