"Medina has taken what may be the most complex thing we know -- the human mind -- and explained it in a way that even the human mind can understand. "Brain Rules" is THE book on how neuroscience can help you at work and at home."
- Douglas Stone, co-author of Difficult Conversations

 

"A self-designated “grumpy scientist,” Medina cites only research that has
appeared in peer-reviewed journals and that has been successfully
replicated. Remarkably, this molecular biologist is a gifted
communicator who is able to write for both the scientist and the
layperson."
