About this audiobook
From the operating room where he performs some of the riskiest surgeries around, to the lab where he works on leading clinical trials, Dr. Rahul Jandial is at the forefront of advances in neuroscience. He has transformed the lives of his patients with his specially developed rehab for restoring brain function. In this eye-opening and informative book, Dr. Jandial shares his amazing insights to demonstrate how healthy people can enhance their brains to work in a higher gear. By combining the treatment guidelines he gives his patients, the most promising concepts from the frontiers of science, and the smartest super-achiever hacks, he provides practical takeaways to help you boost your memory, control stress and emotions, raise smart kids, unleash creativity, and lead a healthier, happier, and more productive life.
Along the way he shares fascinating stories of survival and overcoming the odds from his own operating room—from the young girl who lost half her brain but gained a full life, to the man who survived a bullet to his frontal lobe—as well as his own journey from college dropout to one of America’s most notable neurosurgeons.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This man is exceptionally brilliant... He is my current surgeon and performed brain surgery on me recently. His book represents his true personality and knowledge. Not many doctors take the time to help you understand what your future is and what expectations to accept. He is genuine and thoughtful and his book is worth reading.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This opened up my mind to my mind and brain and now I am even more curious and fascinated to leaen more..I love how dr Jandial describes his passion in job..much gratitude ..any other recommended books like this ???
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Quite interesting information presented by a practicing neurosurgeon. His story is equally interesting as did not exactly fit the career path at first. Dr. Jandial discusses topics and myths related to neurological afflictions and matters in general.He relates cases he took on during his career and then discusses related topics to give us insight into how these things work in our own lives. Well presented and paced to give useful and educational information.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Dr. Jandial is a brain surgeon who was originally a drop-out. But he is no Nick Riviera; he is a highly esteemed doctor with a PhD in neurobiology, with 20 years of post-high school education. So he knows what he’s talking about when he talks about the brain. This book covers a lot of territory: memory, intelligence, language, creativity, smart drugs (and others), sleep, head injuries (a constantly changing field at the moment), diet for the brain, implants, stem cells, how the brain differs in youth and old age. Turns out the real science of peak performance is pretty much the same as the prescription for general good health: get enough sleep, eat healthy, do what you can to reduce stress, avoid head injuries, and don’t take street drugs or the ones touted on line as ‘smart drugs’. And hope that new treatments for dementia come down the pipeline before you get it. Neurologists and neurosurgeons are doing some amazing things, but there is still so much that can’t be fixed. Hedge your bets by following his prescription. Pretty easy to read and very interesting. I love reading about medical cases, especially neurology ones, and he does this very well. Of great interest to me was his use of deep brain stimulation (DBS) to abate a case of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder-as a life time sufferer of OCD, the thought that there might actually be a non-chemical cure is exciting! This is a book for any fan of Oliver Sacks or of medical tales in general, and for anyone looking to get the best out of their brain.
