The Winner's Brain - Part 1

There's a new book, The Winner's Brain that examines neural function, anatomy and physiology in successful people.  It begins with a review of some of the accidents of nature and progresses to modern exams like MRI, fMRI, and PET scanning.

The authors then develop themes in winners, suggest exercises that alter neural pathways via neuroplasticity, and provide tips for self help.

The initial themes include the ability to recognize opportunity, optimize risk, become goal centered, achieve persistence, and develop and recognize talent.

They review strategies to enhance characteristics like self-awareness and motivation and later provide more specifics on development.
