From a languages teacher who has to choose whether to lose her ability to speak Spanish or English after brain surgery, to a former TV exec, now homeless, who discovers that his life-altering despondency is the result of a tumour, to a fainting teen who learns that deep breathing can mean the difference between life or death, these stories uncover the secret workings of the brain. For years Dr Rahul Jandial has transformed the lives of his neurosurgery patients by putting them through 'brain rehab', his specially developed boot camp for restoring brain function. In this eye-opening, informative and accessible guide, he uses his years of expertise to show how healthy people can rewire their brains to work in a higher gear. With quick and easy daily exercises, this book will show you how to: boost your memory ; control stress and emotions ; minimize pain ; unleash creativity ; raise smart kids ; avoid Alzheimer's. Using a combination of scientific research and fascinating real-life stories from his own operating room, Rahul Jandial explains how to boost your brain power for good.
