Very highly recommended self-help guide for readers of all backgrounds

Written by President of the Korean Institute of Brain Science Ilchi Lee, Principles of Brain Management: A Practical Approach to Making the Most of Your Brain lives up to its title with its simple, straightforward advice for mastering and making the most of one's brain. Chapters discuss how to deliberately create life-affirming good habits, improve one's sense of hope and fulfillment, raise one's personal energy levels and much more. Simple breathing and relaxation techniques are also touched upon. "There may indeed be some biological barriers to overcome as we get older. The brain's connections do become denser and slower as we fill the brain with the experiences and knowledge of a lifetime. However, most people lose a great deal of neuroplasticity simply because they choose not to use it. For that reason, I encourage you to use and challenge your brain as much as possible. You will find that, in the end, developing your brain is the same as leading a vital, fulfilling lifestyle." Recommended exercises for the reader round out this very highly recommended self-help guide for readers of all backgrounds.

Easy to follow, powerful results!

I have never written a review before, but I felt compelled after finishing this book. It is put together beautifully - very clear and concise. There are plenty of practical applications that you can use to access the potential of your brain. This book has given me a new perspective on my brain and has inspired me to utilize my brain to the fullest!

A great read

I have read many of Ilchi Lee's books about the Brain Education method. This one strikes me as the most straight-forward and friendly. It is a quick, fun read, and it offers really practical advice, and the exercises are a very enjoyable. Unlike other books and training methods, which tend to focus only on skills related to the neo-cortex, this method really takes a much more of a holistic approach by looking at the brain in relationship to a person's entire life. It really encourages and facilitates a brain-aware lifestyle, as apposed to just the development of academic skills.

Brain Education made simple

This book is amazing! I am so grateful to find a book that helps me easily and realistically put into practice the principles of creating health and happiness in my own life. I realize that my brain is the key to all of that. What a practical tool to changing my habits and becoming the person I always knew I could be.

An Excellent Approach to Using Our Brain Well

This book is not about brain management. Actually it's all about life management. Ilchi Lee shows us in easy-to-understand language how to get out of our comfort zones, how to push beyond our normal limits, and how to increase our confidence through simple exercises and techniques. He asserts that maximizing the brain's potential is simply a matter of knowing what steps to take and then taking them. I like the simple structure of the book. It provides easy-to-understand principles followed by simple, enjoyable exercise practice. For example, to come back to our senses, he recommends practices such as, "Wide-Awake Walking" and "Blind Balance." I tried some of them and they worked well. A must read for everyone interested in using their brain well and living a better life.
