Activate Your Brain: How Understanding Your Brain Can Improve Your Work - and Your Life Hardcover – May 5, 2015

This is a wonderful and important book. In the past few years there is so much more information out there about how the brain works, which is great. However, what I love about Scott Halford's approach to it is that, first of all, he's been doing this work for many years, even before it was "popular," and second of all, he's down to earth, accessible, and real. So often I feel stupid or overwhelmed when I hear people talk about or write about brain science...but with Scott's approach and this book, it not only makes sense, I can see how it will help me, my life, and those around me. I highly recommend this book!

Excellent book with actionable insights that can be applied immediately. I already started using some of the techniques (and have a long list of additional ones to try) and can see positive results.Most interesting of all is that many of the techniques were shown to me by my amazing wife over the course of our marriage

Everything in the book is interesting, but somehow after 50% it got boaring.I had to force myself to go trough the other half and in the last pages I even jumped chunks of bla, bla, bla.It's to "conductive". Brake some eggs, put in some fluor, milk, etc., etc. Just like following a cake recipe.Surelly some people will enjoy following the formula although I guess the cake will come out somewhat ordinary.

There are a lot of books on this subject. I have read many of them. This text does an admirable job of taking the latest findings on brain research and makes the information both compelling and highly accessible. Scott Halford has done the hard work in allowing the reader to make the jump from scientific findings into very practical application. This book is a great read whether consumed cover to cover, or as a coffee table text that you, family and friends dip into randomly - every page offers valuable insights and great tips. If you are pressed for time simply read the "Activation" sections embedded in each chapter.

If you are anything like me, you get so busy with work, family and life, you even make time for improving your body and soul but not your brain. I figure I already did that (school!). But I do know better. Well, Scott Halford has written the book that will help us all to sharpen our brain every single day – helping keep it fit well into old age. Activate Your Brain offers concrete tools and effective strategy that is really helping me to get the most out of my brain!

Solid advice on how best to treat your #1 asset - your brain. Even better, shows you how this applies to real, everyday life.

One that should be read and studied by anyone who honestly wants to improve themselves. This book not only gives great insight on how the brain works, it gives good examples on how to use the information on a practical way.

The book provides very basic knowledge about brain activation, related tips and techniques -- ones that you can also research them yourself over the internet....But, given the book's relatively low price (0.99$ on the digital version), I consider it a good value buy!
