Brain Rules: 12 Principles for Surviving and Thriving at Work, Home, and School
Why does EVERY scientist who writes a book for the masses, on the brain, need to go into great length about what the structures look like. This book would have been better if the author focused more on useful information. For example, Gender (which he refers to as sex). He gives no useful information about what we can DO once we understand that gender brains are different.
So there really are three or four usable brain rules.

I think part of this book is practical advice, part of it is a little
superficial to me …
Rating: 3 / 5
It’s facile and lacking in substance. He throws out a lot of ideas which sound like they came from research, but where are the references. I returned the book because of the horrifying introduction to a chapter on stress that detailed torture performed on dogs! I question the need to include the graphic description. There must be less heinous research studies on stress. I question his editor’s decision to allow that section. I returned the book and got my money back.

Interesting read with some information being new, some mainstream. I do not think I would buy again, but I would check it out from the library.

I haven’t read this yet so can’t comment from my own perspective, but my husband loves the book and is getting some very good information from it.
