Nancy Slessenger has prepared a list of resources used during the research for Brain Magic.

 

 

Tony Buzan

 

"These books will really help you improve your brain. My reading speed has went up from 250 words per minute to 650 in just a few days by using The Speed Reading book, and is still improving.

His mind map book will give a good grounding in how to use mind maps to their best advantage for improved learning and memory.

The memory books are full of really useful practical tips and tools on how to improve your memory – no need to let it go with age – improve it instead"

 

 

 

John Ratey

 

 

"Here’s someone who does lots of fascinating research on the brain and behaviour. John Ratey’s book is very interesting if you want to know more"

Diamond

"Marian Diamond really started the field of what’s called ‘brain enrichment’ with her ground-breaking research. She showed that ‘rat TV’ was not good for the brain. She also did the initial experiments to show that we can grow new brain cells but Nature wouldn’t publish it.  Her book is packed with all kinds of useful advice on how to nurture your child’s intelligence, creativity and healthy emotions"

 

 

   

 

Roger J Callahan

 

 

"This book is about the technique Thought Field Therapy. It gets rid of those negative feelings that are spoiling your life, like anger, guilt, fear and phobias in a matter of minutes. Sounds too good to be true? Just try it. I was amazed by this. And many of my clients have been too. I’ve found it especially helpful for people who are having trouble dealing with some very unpleasant person and the feelings of anger or fear are getting in the way."

"Find out what stress really does to you and your body – and what to do about it. This is a book that will make you laugh as well as get you worried. My advice is read the last chapter first as that tells you what to do. Then read

the others, safe in the knowledge that you won’t be suffering the symptoms he describes. It’s fascinating and very readable. Enjoy! If you ever get the chance to see him talk – cancel everything else and go"

 

Shelle Rose Charvet

 

 

"A book that will really help you to understand people (including yourself). Not only that, but it gives you easy and straight forward ways to talk to them that will save you lots of time and trouble.

 

You can dip and and out of this book – I still refer to it and I bought it five years ago. Worth every penny"

 

 

Marshall Rosenberg

 

 

"This man works in conflict zones, negotiating with seriously difficult people. He has developed a wonderful way of doing it and of treating others, even the most aggressive and awful. This book will teach you how to transform conflicts into useful dialogues, break patterns of thinking that lead to anger and depression and speak your mind without upsetting people"

 

Robert B Cialdini

 

 

"This is a fantastically well-researched book on a very useful topic. It’s also fun to read with a useful summary at the end of each chapter. I laughed out loud at some of his examples – especially where he explains how people were persuaded to go ahead with Watergate. This will improve your ability to influence.  If you’re really serious about understanding what makes people do things, you need this book"

 

Genie

 Laborde

 

"Lots of great information on how to communicate effectively with pictures to illustrate. The techniques are all from NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) but you don’t need to know anything about NLP to read it. In fact this is a very useful introduction to the subject.  

 

The author is very experienced and shares her skills with you in a way that is easy to understand and very accessible"

 

David Buchholz
 

 

"This is an absolute must if you get headaches or migraines. It was recommended to me by a dear friend who was suffering badly. He’d got to the stage where he had just a few days a month that were headache-free! In just 3 weeks, he had cured himself thanks to this book.

 

I recommended it to one of my clients, after she mentioned to me that she got bad headaches. She had the same success. Don’t delay, just order it."

"Here’s the site where you can see what happens to your brain if you drink too much alcohol!"

"Anxiety and depression are a huge problem for millions of people. Compounding the problem is the common mistaken belief that these disorders result from bad character or weak will. In fact, recent cutting edge brain science has shown that they result from brain dysfunctions, and if they are diagnosed and treated correctly, the quality of life for millions of sufferers and their families can change dramatically. Dr. Daniel Amen, a pioneer in uncovering the connections between the brain and behaviour, has spearheaded the use of brain SPECT imaging - one of medicine's most sophisticated functional brain-imaging techniques- in psychiatry. His imaging studies have revealed the major anxiety and depression centres of the brain and have paved the way to new, effective approaches to diagnosis and treatment."
