THE SECRET OF A FIT BRAIN

About the Book

This well written book will be a very valuable resource for parents, teachers, counselors of children and adolescents and any worker who wishes to aid a child in improving and developing their cognitive abilities, in particular in relation to improving their attention, concentration and memory. The book is clearly written and scholastic in nature however it steers away from being a ‘dry text book’ with little or no practical application as the exercises recommended are very solution focused and problem solving based. The explanations of the functions of the human brain are also well described and the link between structure and function is also very comprehensive and well presented. Overall I would highly recommend this textbook to the afore mentioned professionals.

About the Author

"I have known Dr. Merav Nagel for more than 10 years. Throughout those years, I have observed a rare and undiminished passion to childhood education, specifically children with learning disabilities. Her two PhD's, post-doctoral fellowships, and the many publications she authored are a small testimony to the breadth and depth of her expertise ranging from various learning disabilities like dyslexia and attention deficit disorder to sports psychology, emotional eating, substance abuse, and stress management. She connects the dots between the biological functions, emotional states and learning challenges sprinkling a wealth of experience and wisdom along the way. I strongly support and recommend Dr. Nagel's work. I look forward to someday collaborating with Dr. Nagel in spreading the kind of knowledge educators and parents starve from knowing in their efforts to serve as the pillars for the generations to come."
