Internationally acclaimed, bestselling neuroscientist Dr Hannah Critchlow harnesses cutting-edge science to show how we can lean into human strengths to flourish in the face of future global challenges.
How do we nurture our own and our children's brains so we have the resilience to thrive during the coming wave of technological, and societal change? How do we keep up in the face of AI?
Neuroscientist Dr Hannah Critchlow takes readers on an empowering journey through the fascinating landscape of the latest neuroscience research and deep into their own intelligence. It is human skills - curiosity, compassion, communication, courage and creativity - that will provide the answer to the challenges ahead. We should lean into our collaborative skills, our ability to intuit and to think long-term, to adapt and to focus. Dr Critchlow explores how we build collective wisdom, and how we best fuel our brains.
In a book filled with stories of pioneering research and case studies, and with advice and brain exercises, she shows us how to navigate the coming decades with informed confidence.
