The Flexible Brain is based on the podcast How Your Brain Works & Changes by Andrew Huberman and published by Milken Publishing. Andrew Huberman is an American neuroscientist and professor at Stanford University. The Flexible Brain examines the function of the nervous system in creating thoughts, behaviors, emotions, and feelings, and the brain's ability to change.
General content of the Flexible Brain book
In the Flexible Brain, Dr. Huberman analyzes the brain's nervous system and its connection to other parts of the body and considers large and small human functions dependent on the brain and spinal cord. The author also introduces the concept of neuroplasticity, which is the brain's ability to change and adapt to new experiences. This ability can be used to improve memory, treat mental problems, and change behavior.
Also, in the Flexible Brain book, neurons ( i.e., necellsell) and synapses (the distance between neurons) facilitate communication in the nervous system. According to Dr. Huberman, the connection between neurons is made through synapses, and this connection is the principle of the functioning of the nervous system of the brain.
Quotes from the book The Flexible Brain
If we create the right chemical conditions in our brain and provide the right environmental conditions around us, our nervous system enters a state where change is not only possible but likely.
The brain and body's ability to distance themselves from scary things is much better than their ability to approach the things we want.
Neuroplasticity is simply the process by which our nervous system changes in response to experience.
One of the biggest lies that has become very prominent these days is that every experience you have changes your brain.
Text on the back of the book
How to rewire our brains? How to create habits that last? How to focus on our goals and achieve them?
Dr. Andrew Huberman, a professor of neuroscience at Stanford University, has spent years studying the functioning of the brain and nervous system and has shared his findings with his audience on one of the most popular science podcasts in the world. This book is a careful and coherent compilation of the most important topics discussed in his podcasts- a combination of scientific explanations, concrete examples, and practical solutions that can help you understand your mind better and use it to create lasting changes in your life.
In this book, you will first be introduced to the functioning of the nervous system and the way the brain changes (neuroplasticity) and understand how the brain adapts to new experiences and learning. Then you will learn how to strengthen focus, prepare the mind for learning, and increase productivity. Next, you'll learn the science of goal setting and how to apply these principles to achieve personal and professional success. Finally, Dr. Huberman explores the scientific methods for creating positive habits and breaking negative ones and shows how to make behavioral changes that last a lifetime.
If you want to tap into your brain's true potential, consciously shape your behaviors, and achieve the goals you've always dreamed of, this book will be an invaluable guide.
