    About this ebook

    Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.

    Book Preview: #1 The first few years of integrating new parenthood into an already busy life were challenging for me. I was engaged in the constant, all-consuming work of running the lab, writing grants, conducting studies, teaching courses, and mentoring students.

    #2 I was used to being able to study my way to success, but now I was unable to logic my way out of my problem. I couldn’t analyze or think my way back from feeling out of step with my life. I realized that if I was unwilling to change my life, I would have to change my brain.

    #3 I was born in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India, and when I was a baby, my parents moved to the United States so that my father could complete his graduate work in engineering. I grew up in the suburbs of Chicago, and as Indian kids, we knew there were only three acceptable professions for us: doctor, engineer, or accountant.

    #4 My job was to take people who had suffered traumatic brain injuries outside for some fresh air. I got to know one of the patients particularly well. His name was Gordon, and he had been in a motorcycle accident. He would spend hours every night memorizing the motion of his hand as it pressed the lever.

      #1

      #2

      I was used to being able to study my way to success, but now I was unable to logic my way out of my problem. I couldn’t analyze or think my way back from feeling out of step with my life. I realized that if I was unwilling to change my life, I would have to change my brain.

      #3

      #4

      My job was to take people who had suffered traumatic brain injuries outside for some fresh air. I got to know one of the patients particularly well. His name was Gordon, and he had been in a motorcycle accident. He would spend hours every night memorizing the motion of his hand as it pressed the lever.

      #5

      I became interested in the brain’s fragility, its resilience, and its capacity for change. I wondered how the brain controls all these different functions.

      #6

      Attention is the key to all of our other brain systems operating properly. It allows us to solve problems, learn, and survive in a constantly changing world. It allows us to travel to different realities and memories.

      #7

      Your attention system is constantly shutting out things and highlighting certain things. It was your attention system’s capacity to do this that was messing with you during those overwhelming teeth-numbing months.

      #8

      Your brain is built for bias. It does not treat all information equally. For example, humans can see better than they can smell, while dogs can smell better than they can see.

      #9

      The brain has built-in structural biases
