IRB Media Summary of Richard Kim's Rewire Your Brain

Annotation

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview: #1 The past is gone, and it cannot affect you now except to let it happen. You can choose to reprogram your subconscious and see how it affects your mood and life.#2 Denying an individual the opportunity to reach their right limbs causes the brain to find an alternative route. This is a great example of how the brain chooses the easiest path, because it is the easiest way for the individual suffering from a stroke.#3 Whatever we want, we must know that the brain prefers the easiest way. We must understand that we can't force someone to love us, or ourselves for that matter, or to change their habits. We can only guide them in the direction we want them to go in.#4 Positive experiences feel fleeting rather than permanent. But what this 20-second period does is allow your brain time to savor what is great from short-term memory to long-term memory and learn from it.
