Bill Lucas, a leading international expert on life-long learning, shows that while we have learned more about how the brain works in the last decade than we have ever known, only a fraction of this is understood and applied by most people. Power Up Your Mind applies this practical knowledge for the first time and shows you how to learn to learn.

Drawing on research from a wide variety of subject areas, from neuroscience to psychology, from motivation theory to accelerated learning, from memory to diet, the book shows how everyone has the capacity to succeed and how most people only use a very small portion of their talents.

For learning to be effective, an understanding of how the brain works is essential and unlike much recent thinking on the mind, Lucas connects an understanding of the brain with the reality of the workplace and translates what we know about the brain into useful insights for work.

Much work-based training is a waste of time and money because the majority of people are neither emotionally ready to learn nor practically inclined to apply their learning to the they behave. Power Up Mind offers a new model of learning ­­–READY, GO,STEADY- which will revolutionize the way you learn and perform.

Lucas shows that by concentrating on what happens before and after you learn you can use your brain to best effect, learning faster and working smarter.

In today's fast moving world, learning has become the key to competitive advantage. Power Up Your Mind will revolutionize our understanding of how our Brains are pre-wired to learn and the practical steps we can take to prepare ourselves to participated in the learning process.
