Publisher's summary

Despite our best efforts, most of the time, we act without thinking. We make poor decisions. But this isn’t our fault! It’s just how our brains are programmed. Now, you don’t have to be a scientist to understand how to use your brain’s instincts to your advantage instead of your downfall.

Build a Better Brain has one goal: to help you improve your life by understanding how your brain works and learning to taking advantage of it. Put simply, your brain still thinks it is 10,000 BC, and this has the potential to sabotage you on a daily basis.

This audiobook is a deep look into the roots of conscious and unconscious behavior. It’s your introduction to neurosciencem, written for non-scientists and packed with advice. At the end of the day, this audiobook is a guide for how to rewire your brain for optimal performance and happiness.

Peter Hollins has studied psychology and peak human performance for over a dozen years and is a best-selling author. He has worked with dozens of individuals to unlock their potential and path toward success. His writing draws on his academic, coaching, and research experience. Oddly enough, neuroscience was his favorite class in school, and he has found how to apply that same information to real-life situations.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

A Great How-To that teaches the how and why

A very good read that combines enough science to understand how the brain works and structured in a way to make it accessible to most. The work was balanced so that it both taught about the workings of the brain and its anatomy with ways to change how it works. The book debunks many popular myths and gives the readers proven ways to effect change. I would have liked more references to different studies. I listened to the audio book and the narrator was very good, the perfect diction and speed for technical and informative listening. I was able to listen at 1.5 times and still understand and follow along with no issues. Great read!

Science!

I was expecting a wishy-washy self-help ruse, but the book was based on neuroscience. Good science in the beginning, clueless advice later on, however, since, if your life philosophy is weak (and it is - humanity is still universally clueless - see the Philosophy of Broader Survival), no amount of reshaping the plasticity of your brain is going to help you.

Good content!

Really neat little audiobook, I learned a lot! I think this has actually help me understand how to overcome my anxiety I recommend anyone pick this book up. Good listen.

The Brain. Very Important.

Good read. Very informative. Great place to start concerning knowing thyself and healing thyself, because the brain is where it all starts and ends.

LOVED!!

enjoyed listening, during exercising. I would recommend in a heartbeat. my go to reading. love love love love

Excellent Audiobook, Well Organized, Clear & Actionable

This book is an excellent resource for the non-neuroscientist.

I also highly recommend James Clear, Atomic Habits. The author mentions him a couple of times as well.

Great resource for everyone wanting a better life.

First book I have read that gives as much information about our brains and strategies on how to move in the best direction no matter where you are in life.

The missing manual for your brain!

This is the manual we all should be given early on in life but instead have to learn things the hard way. The book does an excellent job explaining how the brain works and giving a great visualization of how the different parts of the brain interact with one another.
From there the author explains methods you can put into action to change your brain to become the person you want to be. Do you want to overcome fear and anxiety, that's covered. Do you want to get off drugs, that's covered. Do you want to lose weight, that's covered too.
Basically, this book is a guide on how to improve every aspect of your life from the origin.

The narrator does an amazing job as well. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking to make a positive change in their life!

I really like this.

I think it's one of those books dives right into the concepts with examples rather than driving the read in circles. I appreciate the well articulated examples and it's rather pleasing to know the different elements of neuroplasticity.

Great book

Love the length and depth of this book. Just enough information to get you started on making changes. Mot too technical but does give basic information on why your brain works and what works best.
