The secret life of the grown-up brain : discover the surprising talents of the middle-aged mind

A leading science writer examines how our brains improve in middle age. Pulitzer Prize-winning science writer Barbara Strauch explores the latest findings that demonstrate how the middle-aged brain is more flexible and capable than previously thought. In fact, new research from neuroscientists and psychologists suggests that the brain reorganizes, improves in important functions, and even helps us adopt a more optimistic outlook in middle age. We recognize patterns faster, make better judgments, and find unique solutions to problems. Part scientific survey, part how-to guide, The Secret Life of the Grown- up Brain is a fascinating glimpse at our surprisingly talented middle-aged minds.

  • "In her impeccably researched book, science writer Barbara Strauch explores the latest findings that demonstrate, through the use of technology such as brain scans, that the middle-aged brain is more flexible and more capable than previously thought. By detailing exactly the normal, healthy brain functions over time, Strauch also explains how its optimal processes can be maintained."
  • "Draws on new research to examine the brain's peak capacity in middle age, explaining how a growth of white matter and brain connectors enables improved judgment, cognitive function, and problem solving."

  • "As the bulge of the baby boom reaches middle age and beyond, we are worried about getting old and getting sick. And we are really worried about losing our minds. But while we may not be able to find our keys, our brains still have dazzling talents. In The Secret Life of the Grown-up Brain, you'll meet neuroscientists and psychologists who are proving how we have badly underestimated the middle-aged brain."
