Did You Know Your Brain Has a Mother?




The brain is an amazing thing. Most of us have no idea what’s really going on inside our heads. If you are a workplace leader, a trainer, or a teacher, learning how your brain works will help you become more productive.

  • Did you know that your brain has a -"Mother" ?
  • Does talking on your cell phone... while driving really distract you?

The answers are revealed in this short 2 minute, but fascinating mind boggling video.



Brain scientists have uncovered details every business leader, parent, and teacher should know.

  • How do we learn?
  • What exactly do sleep and stress do to our brains?
  • Why is multi-tasking a myth? Why is it so easy to forget—and so important to repeat new knowledge?

Brain Rules is about what we know for sure, and what we might do about it. Learn and understand about how each of the following 12 Brain Rules work to help you function at a high level.

THE 12 BRAIN RULES

Rule #1: Exercise boosts brain power.

Rule #2: The human brain evolved, too.

Rule #3: Every brain is wired differently.

Rule #4: We don't pay attention to boring things.

Rule #5: Repeat to remember.

Rule #6: Remember to repeat.

Rule #7: Sleep well, think well.

Rule #8: Stressed brains don't learn the same way.

Rule #9: Stimulate more of the senses.

Rule #10: Vision trumps all other senses.

Rule #11: Male and female brains are different.

Rule #12: We are powerful and natural explorers.
