About this item
The definitive guide to keeping your brain healthy for a long and lucid life, by one of the world's leading scientists in the field of brain health and ageing.The brain is our most vital and complex organ. It controls and coordinates our actions, thoughts and interactions with the world around us. It is the source of personality, of our sense of self, and it shapes every aspect of our human experience. Yet most of us know precious little about how our brains actually work, or what we can do to optimise their performance. Whilst cognitive decline is the biggest long-term health worry for many of us, practical knowledge of how to look after our brain is thin on the ground. In this ground-breaking new book, leading expert Professor James Goodwin explains how simple strategies concerning exercise, diet, social life, and sleep can transform your brain health paradigm, and shows how you can keep your brain youthful and stay sharp across your life.
About the Author
James H. Goodwin started writing after successful careers in children's services and small business owner. He has always believed many life lessons can be told in stories. The ideas for his novels come from every day experiences but also reflect his previous careers. For many years, Goodwin was President and CEO of a children's residential treatment, foster care and adoption agencies. He also was a highly regard psycho-therapist working with families and children. His profession helped him develop good listening skills which played a major role in his understanding the human condition. His stories deal with romance, mystery and often the struggles that people face in their everyday relationships.
Although Goodwin was raised on the north shore of Massachusetts, he has resided for many years in Michigan. He and his wife currently make their home along the shore of Lake Michigan in Manistee. For a decade they were owners and operators of the "best coffee shop" in northern Michigan. The over the counter conversations with customers offered many ideas for stories which along with his past career are often reflected in his books. To Find What Was Lost is his latest book and just so happens to be number one in a series about a small Michigan town called Manitou.
