Story
The Science of Sleep, by developmental molecular biologist Dr. John Medina, gives you the facts - and the prescription to sleep well - in his signature engaging style. Adapted from Medina's Brain Rules for Aging Well: 10 Principles for Staying Vital, Happy, and Sharp, you'll learn how the sleep cycle is born of a constant tension between hormones and brain regions vying to keep you awake and hormones and brain regions trying to make you go to sleep. This is called opponent-process theory.

In accessible language and with periodic references to Star Trek, motorcycle daredevils, and near-classic movies of the '80s, developmental molecular biologist John Medina explores the neurological and evolutionary factors that drive teenage behavior and can affect both achievement and engagement. Then he proposes a research-supported counterattack: a bold redesign of educational practices and learning environments to deliberately develop teens' cognitive capacity to manage their emotions, plan, prioritize, and focus.

Most of us have no idea what's really going on inside our heads. Yet brain scientists have uncovered details every business leader, parent, and teacher should know - such as the brain's need for physical activity to work at its best. How do we learn? What exactly do sleep and stress do to our brains? Why is multi-tasking a myth? Why is it so easy to forget - and so important to repeat new information? Is it true that men and women have different brains?

When it comes to creating ideas, we hold ourselves back.

But what happens when we encounter problems for which such conventional thinking fails us? How do we get unstuck? For Mark Levy, the answer is freewriting....

In this stunning audiobook, Malcolm Gladwell takes us on an intellectual journey through the world of "outliers" - the best and the brightest, the most famous, and the most successful. He asks the question: What makes high-achievers different? His answer is that we pay too much attention to what successful people are like, and too little attention to where they are from: That is, their culture, their family, their generation, and the idiosyncratic experiences of their upbringing.

Publisher's Summary
Most of us have no idea what’s really going on inside our heads. Yet brain scientists have uncovered details every business leader, parent, and teacher should know - like the need for physical activity to get your brain working its best. How do we learn? What exactly do sleep and stress do to our brains? Why is multi-tasking a myth? Why is it so easy to forget - and so important to repeat new knowledge? Is it true that men and women have different brains? In the New York Times bestseller Brain Rules, Dr. John Medina, a molecular biologist, shares his lifelong interest in how the brain sciences might influence the way we teach our children and the way we work. In each chapter, he describes a brain rule - what scientists know for sure about how our brains work - and then offers transformative ideas for our daily lives. Medina’s fascinating stories and infectious sense of humor breathe life into brain science. You’ll learn why Michael Jordan was no good at baseball. You’ll peer over a surgeon’s shoulder as he proves that most of us have a Jennifer Aniston neuron. You’ll meet a boy who has an amazing memory for music but can’t tie his own shoes. You will discover how: Every brain is wired differently. Exercise improves cognition. We are designed to never stop learning and exploring. Memories are volatile. Sleep is powerfully linked with the ability to learn. Vision trumps all of the other senses. Stress changes the way we learn. In the end, you’ll understand how your brain really works - and how to get the most out of it.

Would you listen to Brain Rules (Updated and Expanded) again? Why?
I am truly enjoying this book during my commute. This is my second reading and I find I am catching things I missed the first time I listened to the audiobook. At this point I now want to participate in the online exercises, review diagrams and related material. Great work.
What about John Medina’s performance did you like?
He is a terrific reader. His voice is dynamic and engaging. Lots of vocal variety relevant to the topic. Fantastic!

Solid contents and enthusiastic narration
As a former researcher, I'm impressed by how the author respects facts. He is honest about how much research has been done on each subject and gives warnings on controversial topics and inconclusive areas under active research. The narration is great. As a sleep-deprived parent of a baby, I still mostly stay awake when listening.

Interesting book; uneven performance
Overall, I enjoyed this book. There are some practical insights, but the content is weighted more heavily toward theory than I had expected. The author displays genuine and palpable enthusiasm for the subject matter that makes the book fun to listen to.
The performance has the usual uneven characteristics that I have come to expect in titles that are read by the author rather than a professional narrator. There are a number of sudden changes in audio quality where a section was obviously re-recorded and spliced in. I got used to it after a while.

Fantastic book, terrible audio
There is a very wide disparity between the actual content of the book and the vocal performance by it's author. John Medina is truly talented and undoubtedly a thought leader in his field. Unfortunately he does not have the same credentials as a voice artist and recording engineer. Not too sure if he recorded it himself, but it certainly does sound like a home job!
Picture a living room wall that was painted some time ago. As time goes by, nails and skuff marks make their way into it's finish. Someone decides to touch up the paint where it was damaged, and after the paint has dried, realises that they have created a far bigger mess than they could have anticipated.
This is exactly the effect that is created with the revision of this audio book. The book comes out unscathed after a new release, but the audio book is a disaster. It turns into a patchwork, with very audible differences in voice timbre. It seems as if the dropins where even recorded in different locations and with different equipment! In short, the final effect sounds very unprofessional and amateur.
This terrible recording distracted me to the point that I could barely listen to it. Do yourself a favour and rather buy and read the book than waste time and money on the audio version. The book itself does not disappoint, but the narration by it's author certainly does.

Fascinating & Informative
Knowing how the brain works John knows how to maintain your interest and attention. I loved that all conclusions were drawn from scientific testing.
It was interesting to learn that all boys inherit their mum's X chromosome, never their dad's. I also found the research on men's & women's emotional responses fascinating. As women we are setup to respond to & absorb the detail with men only having the ability to get the gist & he speculated that if men had the same ability that they would probabaly respond in the same way to women.
If both could appreciate & value the other's response it would lead to better outcomes in corporations & in relationships
Interesting research, fascinating book highly recommended for those that love learning about our amazing brains!

This book has changed my life
I listened to this book first in 2020, and twice after,
First time, I was recovering from a major back operation where they fused three of my vertebrates together, with rodes and screws.
And I was struggling through many physicall and mental challenges.
This was one of the first books that helped me find my way out of the fog, the fog of pain killers and depression.
Walking and stress handling, these are things I benefited directly and physically from.
I lost 14 kg, and I keep maintaining a very healthy weight because of my new walking habit.
Understanding how anything works, helps you extract more from it.
This is a great book,
I can't recommend it enough.
Just read it..
It's even entertaining..

Fantastic book, if only I could remember the info
A fantastic book, thoroughly enjoyed every minute.
The way John breaks down the information and supplies stories and anecdotes is great.
So much useful information, I will certainly listen to it again.

Narrated like a kids' book
The author ruined it by narrating like he's reading to a 4-year old.
It's supposed to be a book about the brain, not a colouring book.
