Summary: A leading science writer examines how our brains improve in middle age.
Pulitzer Prize-winning science writer Barbara Strauch explores the latest findings that demonstrate how the middle-aged brain is more flexible and capable than previously thought. In fact, new research from neuroscientists and psychologists suggests that the brain reorganizes, improves in important functions, and even helps us adopt a more optimistic outlook in middle age. We recognize patterns faster, make better judgments, and find unique solutions to problems. Part scientific survey, part how-to guide, The Secret Life of the Grown- up Brain is a fascinating glimpse at our surprisingly talented middle-aged minds.
Angie’s comments: As someone heading towards middle-age, I was happy to read
this book. At least I know how I am not on a complete downward spiral with my
brain. The book was interesting and Strauch is an engaging author. The only
issue with the book is that it is now 7 years old, so for the latest
information, you will have to do some research.
Recommended for readers interested in
psychology and human minds.
