The biology of success

2001
Our experience and common sense may tell us that people who are upbeat and energetic stand a better chance of getting ahead, and now recent scientific research on the brain reveals precisely why this is so. In this bestselling book, now in paperback, Dr. Bob Arnot distills the lessons to be drawn from these findings. He outlines a step-by-step program that enables readers to change undesirable habits and behavior, to create optimal conditions for succeeding, and, ultimately, to achieve their personal best. The program covers everything from diet to exercise, including: what to eat to fuel your brain (and when to eat it), the importance of recreation and physical rest, how to determine the right exercise (and the appropriate amount of exercise), how making simple changes in your immediate surroundings can improve your mood, and tricks for better focusing your energy Filled with inspiring examples from the lives of successful people, The Biology of Success offers the perfect antidote to the stress-filled lives so many of us lead today.
