SUMMARY = This book is an essential guide for understanding the inner workings of your brain! You can learn how the brain communicates with each part of the body, how it affects your emotional life, why you dream, and how you remember things. You will also get in-depth descriptions of brain disorders and how science and medicine are working to heal or reverse them.

BOOK DESCRIPTION = The brain makes you who you are. Your brain creates your personality and controls your reactions and emotions. It is responsible for how you perceive the world around you --- all while it controls hundreds of physical functions like breathing, moving, circulation, and digestion. Written in plain English, this ultimate user's guide will help you unlock the mysteries of your brain and learn why your brain is the most influential part of your body. Your brain is simply amazing!

The book answers the following questions: Do you really use only 10 percent of your brain? Can a bump to the head really restore memories? Does your brain ever lie to you? Why do you always forget where your glasses are, but never how to read?

And the book gives you in-depth descriptions of brain disorders and how science and medicine are working to heal them.
