NeuroWisdom: The New Brain Science of Money, Happiness, and Success Hardcover – Illustrated, January 31, 2017

I am really enjoying this book as it explains how the brain works and the thinking process that goes on.I listen to it on my Kindle and I make notes accordingly.I love the insight it gives describing the creativity process, the retention of information and what happens when you're not using your brain to its fullest potential.I highly recommend this book as it goes beyond what we learned in school, if anything about our thinking process.The author's voice is clear, pleasant to listen to and almost seems personal like he's talking directly to you. I highly recommend this book!

This latest book of Mark Waldman’s begins with…”Tucked away behind the folds of the neocortex are two of the newest evolutionary structures of the human brain: the insula and the anterior cingulate. They contain special neurons that give you profound powers of perception…. they remain largely undeveloped in your brain for many decades…..when you stimulate these complex circuits through mindfulness and self-reflection, something remarkable happens: negative feelings and thoughts are transformed into optimism, your motivation and creativity increase……and a new “voice” can be heard…..and when fully embraced it will help you achieve your financial and emotional goals….”This is not the first book of Waldman’s that I have read. I have read many. Interviewed him on a radio show and attended a workshop. I know his work and I am an admirer. I expected to want to read this book but I have to admit, when I read that opening, I was hooked. I did not want to put it down.Want to know how to increase creativity at work? Read Chapter 9. It will tell you. Want to know how to increase optimism and performance? Read Chapter 7. It will tell you. And, if you want to know how to transform a dream into reality, (become a planner not a dreamer, as he says) his chapter on decision-making, which he calls the second of the four pillars or wealth, is one of the best formulas I’ve read.Each chapter has a summary so that even if you don’t read the entire chapter, you will learn the essentials, which may be all that you need, depending on your goals.Finally, Mark Waldman has a genius for taking very complex neuroscientific principles and translating them so that people like me can understand their meaning. As a result, I have used his evidence-based techniques to help me transform my life and, hopefully, my clients will say that the knowledge that I pass onto them have helped them in a similar fashion. Mark is a gifted teacher and this book reflects his respect for learners. I highly recommend it. I have added it to my Mark Waldman library of classics.

This was one of my favorite reads of the last year. I have actually purchased copies for friends because I think the insights shared here are life transforming. Also, my office and closet are now plastered with a variety of boards including a pleasure board, a C.R.A.P. board, a vision board, a curiosity board and a passion board. These visual reminders and cues have been mentally powerful. Also, this book helped unpack distinctions between awareness and consciousness and how my motivation circuits operate. For the first time, I am equipped with an awareness of the idea of social mindfulness that capacity to intentionally manage what I place my awareness of. This book is truly a gem and I highly recommend it to anyone trying to grow mentally, personally and/or professionally. This is one book that is rich with many frameworks for mental constructs that can elevate the superiority of one's thinking.

Good book, some informations on the brain, the usual mindfulness and some other insights about emotion, social edonism and drives. Pretty clear and with a lot of tips and suggestions, this book is a little bit different from all the others that have been recently published about, more or less, the same topic. Recommended reading if you are interested about the mechanism behind the most common pulsions.Bel libro, alcune informazioni sul cervello, la mindfulness (che come al solito non puó mancare) e alcuni insight sulle emozioni, l'edonismo sociale e le pulsioni. Molto chiaro e con molti trucchi e suggerimenti, questo libro si posiziona, secondo me, uno scalino piú in alto di tutti quelli che hanno pubblicato recentemente sull'argomento; lettura obbligata se vi interessano i meccanismi dietro le spinte che guidano gli esseri umani.

I seriously questioned whether I would find much new in Mark Waldmann’s latest book NeuroWisdom: The New Brain Science of Money, Happiness & Success. Boy, was I wrong! Mark and his co-author, Chris Manning have distilled the latest neuroscience and made it so user friendly that anyone following their advice can raise daily productivity, increase life satisfaction and achieve their goals.NeuroWisdom is filled with many practical exercises that are easy to implement, effective and can be easily incorporated into a busy day. Follow Mark’s advice and not only will you be happier, you will be well on the way to accomplishing those goals that are important to you. Highly recommended.

I am writing to tell you how much our book study group has enjoyed this highly informative and useful book. We chose this book as our study for 2018, and we have now just wrapped it up. We are a group of 15-20 males and females (all spiritual seekers) ranging in age from 60 to 80 years of age. We felt the information in the book would help with the Four Pillars, and we all agree that this, indeed, has occurred. It has been a joy and a pleasure to use NeuroWisdom as a guide to explore our inner lives, our motivations for what we do, and ways to make good decisions as we continue on our life's path. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. This book was simply incredible and some of us have reported that our lives have been changed for the better forever.

Absolutely a great book! It fills missing gaps I noticed after studying other similar books. For example, written gials are mentioned in many books as a key to succeess. From this one, however, I learned that also potential obstacles and ways of overcoming them should be addressed at the same time and the same way. Those small bits are a gamechanger in my opinion. Additonally, the book is backed up by science, not just experience of the author. Worth every oenny amd more!

Excelente título!! Vale a pena a compra!!
