How come I will never find my keys? Why don’t I sleep as well as I used to? Why do my friends keep repeating the same stories? What can I do to keep my brain sharp? Scientists know. Brain Rules for Aging Well, by developmental molecular biologist Dr. John Medina, gives you the facts, and the prescription to age well, in his signature engaging style.

With such a lot of discoveries over the years, science is literally changing our minds about the optimal care and feeding of the brain. All of it is captivating. An excessive amount of it is unexpected.

In his New York Times best seller Brain Rules, Medina showed us how our brains in reality work, and why we ought to redesign our workplaces and schools to match. In Brain Rules for Baby, he gave parents the brain science they want to know to raise happy, smart, moral kids. Now, in Brain Rules for Aging Well, Medina shares how you’ll profit from the years you have left. In a book destined to be a classic on aging, Medina’s fascinating stories and infectious sense of humor breathe life into the science.

Brain Rules for Aging Well is organized into four sections, each laying out familiar problems with surprising solutions. First up, the social brain, in which topics ranging from relationships to happiness and gullibility illustrate how our emotions change with age. The second section specializes in the thinking brain, explaining how working memory and executive function change with time. The third section is all about your body: how certain kinds of exercise, diets, and sleep can slow the decline of aging. Each section is sprinkled with practical advice, for example, the fascinating benefits of dancing, and the brain science in the back of each intervention.

The final section is about the future. Your future. Medina connects all the chapters into a plan for maintaining your brain health.

You may already be experiencing the infrequently-unpleasant effects of the aging process. Or you may be deeply concerned about your loved ones who are. Either way, Brain Rules for Aging Well is for you.
