Publisher's summary

Developed by two Harvard brain experts, here is a scientific, accessible approach to achieving success by retraining your brain to win.

Ever wonder why some people seem blessed with success? In fact, everyone is capable of winning in life - you just need to develop the right brain for it.

In The Winner's Brain, Drs. Jeff Brown and Mark Fenske use cutting-edge neuroscience to identify the secrets of those who succeed no matter what - and demonstrate how little it has to do with IQ or upbringing. Through simple everyday practices, Brown and Fenske explain how to unlock the brain's hidden potential by establishing:

  • Balance: Make emotions work in your favor
  • Bounce: Create a failure-resistant brain
  • Opportunity Radar: Spot hot prospects previously hidden by problems
  • Focus Laser: Lock into what's important
  • Effort Accelerator: Cultivate the drive to win

Along the way, they introduce you to dozens of interesting people who possess "win factors" (like the inventor of Whac-A-Mole) and share surprising information (like why you should never take a test while wearing red). The Winner's Brain will not only give you an edge - it'll motivate you to pursue your personal and professional dreams.

A Decent Intro to Neuroscience and Success

This book is simple and entertaining. I had the pleasure of taking a class with Mark Fenske at the University of Guelph. Knowing him, he certainly ensured that the information in this book was selected carefully. It is a no nonsense and no fluff book that states what you should and shouldn't expect your brain to do in terms of guiding your own personal definition of success. It's worth a listen.

A Life Changing Audio

This is one of those audio books that you can't put down. It's expertly written and filled with great strategies that can change your life. I loved the interviews with people like Whoopi Goldberg, BB King, and other wide ranging, engaging personalities. People are not defined as winners because of monetary or athletic success. The science behind the program, combining psychology with neuroscience spelled out in practical and accessible language, makes it possible for anyone to learn to use the remarkable power of our brains and achieve success in life.

Fantastic information

Wow, what a great book! The information about the studies and parts of the brain are presented in an easy to understand manner. I especially enjoy the chapter on resilience. I agreed with the previous reviewer. The book would have been even better if it was narrated by a different narrator. I had to rewind several time to make sure I didn't miss anything because of the narrator's monotone. The same narrator also narrated The Green Mile by Stephen King, another book with an amazing plot but I couldn't finish because of the narration! :(

A must for those interested in peak performance

This was a great book. Fantastic information that really strung together a number of concepts for me.
Helps tie some of the more esoteric concepts on self awareness with the science of how the different hemispheres of the brain work in more self aware individuals.
Love it am listening to it a second and will listen to it a third time.
