Publisher's Summary

An information-packed guide to optimising your brain health today and for the future.

Become body literate with Brain: An Owner's Guide, the next audiobook in The Body Literacy Library, an enlightening series that will democratise health for a new generation of listeners.

Brain: An Owner's Guide is an informative and practical guide to all aspects of brain health, from maximising your mental wellbeing today to protecting your brain against future serious health issues. Leading neuroscientist Elizabeth Ricker explains how the brain works, how you can look after and protect your brain, and explains what you can do to improve your memory and concentration at any age. Ricker also looks at what constitutes mental "wellbeing", and the science behind a positive mindset, resilience, concentration and memory, as well as low mood, depression and brain fog. Dementia and other brain disorders are a huge concern for many and Ricker looks at how these occur, the latest medical research, and what you can do to protect your brain for life.

From the importance of sleep and stress management to why dementia is a feminist issue, this hard-working audiobook applies science to the everyday, with checklists, FAQs, and myth busters, all supported by the latest medical research. Brain: An Owner's Guide can help you to better understand your mind and aims to enhance your long-term quality of life.

Elizabeth Ricker is a leading neuroscientist with degrees in Brain and Cognitive Sciences from MIT and Mind, Brain, and Education from Harvard. Ricker is the author of Smarter Tomorrow: How 15 minutes of Neurohacking a day can help you work better, think faster and get more done (Little Brown Spark/Hachette, 2021), winner of a 2022 International Nautilus Book Award. Ricker has been featured in The Wall Street Journal, Harvard Magazine, The Hindu, Fast company, The Stylist and more.
