The Mind Unlocked
Toplight Books (Verlag)
978-1-4766-9225-8 (ISBN)
A popular claim in recent years is that a person only uses 10% of their brain, and while this is not remotely true, it is accurate that the human brain contains massive untapped capabilities. Brains remain the most magnificent biological machines, and the latest neurobiological research on nutrition, sleep, music and exercise aims to help people keep theirs in top shape. The human mind is more than just electrochemical signals--it's a fountain of consciousness, transcending physicality.
This work, backed by decades of experience, includes the latest neuroscience research and vignettes based on the author's actual patients. Containing "mental hacks" to explain how to overcome mental limitations, it explores how simple changes like breaking bad habits, having a better work-life balance, and more could help the human mind go from being just "fine-tuned" to being enlightened and limitless. With these hacks, a designer brain is just around the corner.
Marc Arginteanu, M.D., is an associate clinical professor in neurosurgery at Mount Sinai in New York City and an adjunct instructor in psychology at Florida International University in Miami. He has published numerous neuroscience-based articles and a novel.
