The Secret Life of the Grown-up Brain: The Surprising Talents of the Middle-Aged Mind

While many folks believe that the brain generally doesn't improve with age, in this book author Barbara Strauch sets out to prove them wrong. Investigating the latest neuroscientific and psychological research, Strauch discovers that as the brain ages it reorganizes information and improves its performance in important ways, leading us to actually feel more optimistic as we approach middle-age and do certain things with greater ease than we would have been able to at younger ages. Equal parts scientific review and how-to guide, Strauch's book can help you understand the science and put it to work for you.
