Good Brain Bad Brain Your Brain by Michaelene Conner is a nonfiction book that delves into the intricate workings of the human brain. This remarkable organ, an underutilized tool with enormous potential, consists of 100 billion neurons, each forming thousands of connections. Conner explores how our brains interpret a continuous flow of sensory information, influencing both conscious actions and automatic responses. The book reveals how our thoughts can steer us toward success or failure, emphasizing the brain's role in shaping our aspirations and creativity. By evaluating all scientific aspects and citing numerous intellectuals, philosophers, and relevant historical figures, the author provides a complete book that allows you to reach new heights and have greater control over your life by understanding such a vital organ.

What I liked most about this book was how the author addressed all the most common habits of the Western population and analyzed the consequences of these habits on the human brain. She brilliantly explores the effects of alcohol, sleep deprivation, stress, overwork, food addiction, and even the role that love has on the brain. All of this is done scientifically, presenting a vast bibliography and not something based on her opinion or pure guesswork.

The book has no flaws. The book's quality greatly surprised me because the author is a wellness coach. She seemed like a doctor and a human brain expert. When I went to select the book to review, the author said that I was going to analyze the audiobook. Even so, while listening to the audiobook, I didn't notice any grammatical errors, so I assume that the edition of the book was flawless.

This book is one of those elite books that, besides being enjoyable to read, makes the reader feel that their life will be better after finishing it. It is one of the best personal development books ever (although I wonder if that was the author's intention when writing it). I can't imagine anyone who wouldn't benefit from absorbing the wise words contained here. Since nothing is harmful to be mentioned, I rate it 5 out of 5 stars.

What human beings wouldn't like to know how to use their brain more efficiently? I'm not particularly eager to make generic recommendations, but the entire population of planet Earth can benefit from what is said here. Even so, the book presents many quotes from intellectuals and a vast bibliography, so if you like a more "simple" book, you should look for another work. There are no profane words, so there is no age restriction.

The brain is an amazing organ. We've always been told that we only use 10 percent of our brain. I have learned that there a hundred billion neurons in the brain. I can only imagine what it will be like to use 50 percent of the brain.

I read Good Brain, Bad Brain, Your Brain by Michaelene Conner, and I’m really impressed! It’s such a fascinating deep dive into how our brains work, breaking down complex concepts in a way that’s easy to understand. The way Conner explains the good and bad sides of brain function really made me think about how we can better take care of our mental health. Definitely a must-read for anyone curious about neuroscience or looking to improve their brainpower!
