Summary

Did you know that only five percent of all your decisions are consciously made? Most decisions are made by the subconscious brain, perhaps this factually explains why humans are prone to rash judgment. Read on to discover more facts that can aid not only your structural and functional understanding of the brain but also help improve your cognitive skills.

The human brain is nothing less of a confounding conundrum that has baffled the likes of me for centuries. I, as a researcher, have always been fascinated by the brain’s idiosyncratic ability to not only comprehend its own being but also drive the curiosity regarding it. Owing to this fascination, I have dedicated a significant amount of time studying the old and new studies regarding the functioning and the structure of the brain. It was only in those hours of untethered exploration of my curiosity that I realized how common misconceptions about the brain could have profound detrimental implications, and thus this audiobook was born. I aim to debunk not only commonly held myths but also make scientific findings accessible to all.

In this audiobook, you shall find:

  • Over 290 jaw dropping facts and trivia questions which have been divided into 148 facts and 147 trivia questions
  • About 72 facts exploring the complex brain structure
  • Six facts outlining the nutritional needs of the brain
  • Twenty-one facts highlighting the potential harms of brain trauma and injuries
  • Forty-four facts focusing on novel brain discoveries
  • Facts based on new studies and researches
  • Debunking common myths and misconceptions
  • A trivia that allows for reflection
  • Facts featured range from brain anatomy to physiology
  • Scientific findings made comprehensible for all

This book is legitimately fascinating. I have learned so much in so little time.

So I bought this for myself, just out of personal interest and wow. The tone of the narrator is perfected to a perfect pace and there also some lovely instrumentals played at the start of some chapters.

Moving onto the book content, this audiobook is a never-ending supply of integral biological brain facts we should all come to understand. My favourite chapter was the second segmenf facts, I personally have a vehement interest in micronutrients and nutrition, so learning about dehydration and its impact on concentration, how much of the brain is compiled of water was truly fascinating, in my opinion. Well done, Sophia.

This is fun!

Have fun while learning!

Learn more about how your brain works with this collection of brain facts and trivia. In this book, you will gain a thorough understanding of our body's most powerful organ, from its anatomy to physiology. It is also quite entertaining to learn about it. It will be fun to discuss the trivia questions at my next party. As a student or adult, I would recommend this book because it is easy to remember, and the information is easily understood.

Plus, I giggled a lot and surprised myself at how much I knew or did not.

Enhance your cognitive abilities

Having listened to this audiobook, I'm impressed by the detail and the tips on memorising fun facts. I particularly enjoyed the narration.

The best of the best!

A great audio book, a must for teens & parents

I was interested in this subject as my son suffered an aneurysm at the age of 11 since then we have been fascinated by the brain how it works and all the facts in this book are great learning and very educational. What I like is the way the author has combined smart learning by having facts followed by trivia, this is a great way of learning and kept my son and me totally engaged and yes competitive on answering the questions. I also like the way the author has kept the facts very current in everyday life. I will definitely be referring to this audiobook in the near future to keep topped up on my brain facts. A definite read/listen to and highly recommended!

Loved it!

I will be honest. I didn't think I needed this book, but I listened to it anyway and I am glad I did. Don't judge me, but I held about 40% of the myths the author seeks to burst in this book. If you think that's many, I dare you to read it for yourself and see if you don't have the same number or more. The author wanted to make scientific findings accessible and I think she has succeeded. So glad I listened to this book.

This audiobook is loaded with interesting facts!

If you’re interested in the brain and how it functions then this is the audiobook for you. These facts are objective and fascinating! Some very technical but it’s a good mix so easy to understand. Clearly read out and with a brief musical interlude in between each fact, I can only give it 5 stars!

This is exactly why audiobooks were created

This is the perfect audiobook. A non-stop selection of fascinating facts and intriguing trivia all about the human brain. As a healthcare worker, I found it refreshing and challenging. This is the best type of book to have playing in the car, at work, or while doing chores around the home. You are learning as you work through your regular day. The amount of knowledge that author Sophia Cantrell has compiled into one convenient volume is truly impressive and shows the workings of a highly trained medical mind. There is not a single moment that is confusing, as many of the tidbits and facts are definitions of the workings and conditions of the human brain, all of them broken down into easy-to-understand terms. If you want to learn a ton of new things about the very thing with which you are learning, this is the perfect book for you. It's great for casual background learning or in-depth study, it's equally suitable for adults or children, and that makes this book a truly rare gift! Listen to it, put a physical copy on your bookshelf, and gift it to friends and family of all ages. Highly recommended!
