Positively Smarter brings together seven principles for connecting the science of neuroplasticity to practical strategies for enhancing the synergy of happiness, achievement, and physical well-being. Moving beyond common myths and misconceptions that these three areas of life are largely driven by innate talent, genes, and external circumstances, the text builds an evidence-based paradigm so readers can take practical steps to improve cognitive function. The authors have drawn their research from a broad range of fields in order to maximize the positive impact of a synergistic approach.

This pioneering book explores research on the big ideas that can have a positive influence on - and even transform - our lives by focusing on practical learning strategies. The text provides the science, structures, and strategies for creating a more effective system, so that learners are equipped to achieve goals and realize more of their unique potential across the learning life span.
