Acerca de esta escucha
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.
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.

Rachel Barr struggled through years of devastating loss, heartache, and uncertainty until neuroscience gave her the first spark of self-belief she had felt in her adult life — and proof that, because of the brain’s near-infinite potential for neuroplastic change, it’s never too late to carve out neural pathways to form new habits, new skills, and new ways of thinking.

Like the alphabet, the calendar, or the zodiac, the periodic table of the chemical elements has a permanent place in our imagination. But aside from the handful of common ones (iron, carbon, copper, gold), the elements themselves remain wrapped in mystery. We do not know what most of them look like, how they exist in nature, how they got their names, or of what use they are to us. Periodic Tales isa dazzling tour through history and literature, science and art, in which you’ll meet iron that rains from the heavens and neon as it lights its way to vice.

Having survived a profoundly dysfunctional upbringing only to find herself hospitalized and facing a dual diagnosis of post-traumatic stress disorder and bipolar II disorder; Terese Marie Mailhot is given a notebook and begins to write her way out of trauma. The triumphant result is Heart Berries, a memorial for Mailhot's mother, a social worker and activist who had a thing for prisoners; a story of reconciliation with her father - an abusive drunk and a brilliant artist - who was murdered under mysterious circumstances; and an elegy on how difficult it is to love someone while dragging the long shadows of shame.

Like most of us, Toni Lodge tells little white lies all the time. Whether it's "I'm five minutes away" or "It must have gone to my spam folder", most of these innocent fibs are harmless. But what if you realised that you weren't just lying about the little things, but the big "life" stuff too? When Toni sat down to write this memoir, she realized that the lies she was telling herself were hiding some pretty important home truths—about her work, her identity and her mental health. In her dogged pursuit of these truths, she brazenly explores everything.

At age twenty-five, Lauren McQuistin was firmly instructed by her doctor to get sober. But wasn’t sobriety for middle-class, middle-aged people who’d “lost everything”? She felt not far gone enough—and also much too far gone. Five years later, she’s sober and has lived to tell the tale. In No Lost Causes Club, she takes the trademark brutally honest humor and empathetic emotional wisdom of her popular Instagram, @brutalrecovery, and provides a step-by-step guide through the process of sobering up when it feels like the party’s just getting started.
