Bill Lucas, a leading inteational expert on life-long leaing, shows that while we have leaed more about how the brain works in the last decade than we have ever known, only a fraction of this is known and applied by most people. Power Up Your Mind applies this practical knowledge for the first time and shows you how to lea. Drawing on research from a wide variety of subject areas, from neuroscience to psychology, from motivation theory to accelerated leaing, from memory to diet, this book shows how everyone has the capacity to succeed and how most people use only a very small portion of their talents. For leaing to be effective, an understanding of how the brain works is essential and unlike most of the recent thinking on the mind, Lucas connects an understanding of the brain with the reality of the workplace and translates what we know about the brain into useful insights for work. Much work-based training is a waste of time and money because the majority of people are neither emotionally ready nor practically inclined to apply their leaing to the way they behave. Power Up Your Mind offers a new model of leaing - READY, GO, STEADY - which will revolutionize the way you lea and perform.
