Learn about your brain’s real capacity
Is it true what most people say, that you cannot teach old dogs new tricks? Is it almost impossible to learn new things as you grow older? Are you kicking yourself right now for not paying close attention at class when you were younger? Don’t blame yourself too much for slacking off in your schoolwork, the truth is that you can still learn new things even if you are of an advanced age.
There was a long-standing belief that people can only transfer knowledge from their short-term to long-term memory until age 25. Once you breach the quarter-century mark, you will no longer acquire new knowledge even if you trained hard. However, the human brain is not like a computer’s hard drive; it can never get so overloaded that it can no longer accommodate information, and it is possible thanks to something called neuroplasticity.
Scientists discovered that the brain’s “neuroplasticity” does not really deteriorate that much with age; people just don’t know how to use it anymore. In this book, you will learn about your brain’s real capacity to learn, and what things you can do to help it along the way; it may surprise you how easy it is to re-train your brain.
Don’t you ever think that once you grow older that there is no more hope of you acquiring new skills and knowledge; your brain is still as capable as ever, you just need to find out how you can tap its full potential.
With the help of this book, you will find out how to sharpen your mind and make it more welcoming for a wealth of new information.
Whether you need to learn a couple of new skills to advance your career, or you just like learning something new every day, you will find all that you need to know in this book.
