Train Your Brain for Healthier & Happier Life

The primary purpose of this book is to inspire you to discover the remarkable potential of your brain and mind with simple yet powerful words in a storytelling and conversational style. With over five decades of research, experimentation, and collaboration with leading neuroscience, psychiatry, endocrinology, and metabolic health experts, I have created this book to share a holistic approach to enhancing mental performance and overall well-being.The human brain is a dynamic, adaptive organ with an enormous capacity for growth, learning, and change. Through this book, I will guide you in understanding how to: Encourage neurogenesis and neuroplasticity-the brain’s ability to create new neurons and adapt to challenges. Build cognitive reserves to support your mental flexibility as you age. Understand intuition and metacognition for deeper self-awareness and creativity.Unlike many books on brain health, this guide integrates practices rooted in scientific discoveries and mainly personal experiences. From daily meditation and intermittent fasting to neurobics and thermogenesis with cold showers, ice baths, and saunas, I share strategies that have profoundly impacted my life. My studies with centenarians and explorations of artificial intelligence and neurocomputing offer additional insights to inspire your journey.I want to help you adopt practical tools that align with your unique needs, including:- Lifestyle changes to support your mental and emotional well-being.- Evidence-based dietary and exercise routines to improve brain, cognitive, and mental health.- Emerging technologies that can enhance your cognitive abilities. And much more.This book reflects real-life curiosity and personal interaction. Using a question-and-answer format, I address topics in ways that are easy to relate to and apply. Together, we will explore emerging questions such as: How does intermittent or periodic fasting support brain health? What is the role of neuroplasticity in lifelong learning? How can I create daily habits that help me feel younger and sharper as I get older? How can I learn Western and Eastern body and mind exercises to sharpen my brain? How can I be more joyful and relate with others better? How can I be more creative and productive to increase my income?This book blends decades of research with practical strategies from my experiences and collaborations with leading experts to provide actionable cognitive and emotional well-being insights. I want to inspire you to take control of your cognitive health, guiding you with tools to enhance your intuition, memory, focus, attention, task switching, resilience, and joy at any age.
