“Most of us have no idea how the brain works. This has strange conse-quences. We try to talk on our cell phones and drive at the same time, even though it is literally impossible for our brains to multitask when it comes to paying attention. We have created high-stress office environ-ments, even though a stressed brain is significantly less productive. Our schools are designed so that most real learning has to occur at home. This would be funny if it wasn't so harmful. Blame it on the fact that brain sci-entists rarely have a conversation with teachers and business profession-als, education majors and accountants, superintendents and CEOs. Unless you have the Journal of Neuroscience sitting on your coffee table, you're out of the loop. The 12 Brain Rules are meant to get you into the loop and introduce you to 12 things we know about how the brain works." — John Medina 感謝您對大師輕鬆讀的愛護，並且全力支持您合理地使用我們為您精心編製的內容。希望未來可以提供您更方便更友善的服務。

“Though we know precious little about how the brain works, our evolu-tionary history tells us this: The brain appears to be designed to solve problems related to surviving in an unstable outdoor environment, and to do so in nearly constant motion. I call this the brain's performance enve-lope. The twelve Brain Rules relate to this performance envelope. Motion translates to exercise. Environmental instability led to the extremely flex-ible way our brains are wired, allowing us to solve problems through exploration. Learning from our mistakes so we could survive in the great outdoors meant paying attention to certain things at the expense of others, and it meant creating memories in a particular way." — John Medina 感謝您對大師輕鬆讀的愛護，並且全力支持您合理地使用我們為您精心編製的內容。希望未來可以提供您更方便更友善的服務。
