Books on how the brain learns, and what that means for what you can do
The Genius and the Impostor
The Neuroscience of Unlocking Human Potential
A Next Big Idea Club Must-Read
Extraordinary minds are built from ordinary brains. Every feat of human brilliance, every breakthrough, every celebrated work of genius was produced by the same basic machinery you were born with.
The Genius and the Impostor reveals two competing forces inside every human brain. One is the source of your extraordinary capabilities. The other has spent your whole life trying to convince you they don't exist.
The science shows that we have tragically underestimated the potential of every human brain.
"I recommend it to students of the brain, to clinicians, and to anyone who has ever been told they weren't built for something."
"What a terrific book written by someone who truly knows what he's talking about! I only wish I could have read it when I started my professional life but it's 100% applicable at any stage or age both personally and professionally."
"You won't think the same of yourself ever again. How your mind works is not how you thought it works."
Anyone Can Play Music
Unlock Your Musical Potential with the Laws of Brainjo
Most of us were told that musical talent is a gift. You either have it or you don't, and if you didn't start young, you missed your chance. That story is wrong.
Musical ability is built through learning, and the brain you have today can build it. This book shows you how to practice in a way that works with your brain.
First published as The Laws of Brainjo (4.8 stars from more than 700 ratings on Amazon).
"A masterclass in brain plasticity disguised as a music lesson."
"This book should be a vital part of everyone's musical learning experience. You can be a better musician, and what's in this book will ensure that."
"The best presentation of a well-organized, practical method that can help the reader develop into a better musician that I have ever encountered."
"I have bought many programs, DVDs and joined several companies' instructional formats that promised great returns. It wasn't until I read Josh's book that I realized why I was not learning how to play."
"This book is great to help you learn about anything and improve your life. Should be required reading for everyone."
"I studied this book from cover to cover… I am pursuing improvement at age 84 with the specific objectives of having fun and maintaining my brain health. I think it is working."
