Synopsis

From the operating room where he performs some of the riskiest surgeries around, to the lab where he works on leading clinical trials, Dr. Rahul Jandial is at the forefront of advances in neuroscience. He has transformed the lives of his patients with his specially developed rehab for restoring brain function. In this eye-opening and informative book, Dr. Jandial shares his amazing insights to demonstrate how healthy people can enhance their brains to work in a higher gear. By combining the treatment guidelines he gives his patients, the most promising concepts from the frontiers of science, and the smartest super-achiever hacks, he provides practical takeaways to help you boost your memory, control stress and emotions, raise smart kids, unleash creativity, and lead a healthier, happier, and more productive life.

Along the way he shares fascinating stories of survival and overcoming the odds from his own operating room—from the young girl who lost half her brain but gained a full life, to the man who survived a bullet to his frontal lobe—as well as his own journey from college dropout to one of America’s most notable neurosurgeons.

An amazing book about the brain, in terms of physical structures, impact of food, drugs, and injury on it, and a mix of practical advice and theoretical ideas, told by a neurosurgeon with an interesting personal history. The one thing I disliked was his discounting of "brain hackers" -- part of this......more
