About the Book:
What can you learn about success from a robot? Why shouldn’t you take a test while wearing red? And how can it be that people who perform poorly on a task often see themselves as being the best? In The Winner’s Brain, Harvard-trained brain experts Dr. Jeff Brown and Dr. Mark Fenske explore the surprising science behind motivation, focus, and extraordinary achievement—and why the key to success really is all in your head.
Contrary to popular belief, winning in life has little to do with IQ, your circumstances, your financial resources, or even luck. But it has everything to do with creating a failure-resistant brain. Every time you think a thought, feel an emotion, or execute a behavior, your neuro-circuitry changes, and the good news is you can take charge of this process. Based on cutting-edge research, Brown and Fenske identify the eight crucial “Win Factors,” featuring strategies to increase your:
• Focus Laser: Tune out distractions and lock on to what’s important
• Optimal Risk Gauge: Choose the right risks for higher rewards
• Talent Meter: Know your talents—and your shortcomings
• Opportunity Radar: Spot hot prospects, even when they come disguised as problems
• Effort Accelerator: Cultivate the drive to win
Throughout the book, dozens of Winners from all walks of life tell their stories. Many are well known, like B.B. King, Laura Linney, and motivational speaker Trisha Meili, the Central Park Jogger. Others are artists and inventors, musicians and business people, an FBI agent, a fighter pilot, even a high-altitude window washer. These insightful interviews further reveal how anyone can change their thinking to improve their life.
Fascinating, accessible, and compulsively readable, The Winner’s Brain shows you how to unlock your brain’s hidden potential to achieve success.
