Power Up Your Mind by Bill Lucas
Bill Lucas, a leading international expert on life-long learning, shows that
while we have learned more about how the brain works in the last decade than
we have ever known, only a fraction of this is known and applied by most people.
Power Up Your Mind applies this practical knowledge for the first time and shows
you how to learn. Drawing on research from a wide variety of subject areas, from
neuroscience to psychology, from motivation theory to accelerated learning, from
memory to diet, this book shows how everyone has the capacity to succeed and how
most people use only a very small portion of their talents. For learning to be
effective, an understanding of how the brain works is essential and unlike most
of the recent thinking on the mind, Lucas connects an understanding of the brain
with the reality of the workplace and translates what we know about the brain
into useful insights for work. Much work-based training is a waste of time and
money because the majority of people are neither emotionally ready nor
practically inclined to apply their learning to the way they behave. Power Up
Your Mind offers a new model of learning - READY, GO, STEADY - which will
revolutionize the way you learn and perform.
