The Brain Mechanic

Sorry, you can’t actually “train your brain.” But you can force it to adapt, grow, and perform to it’s full potential.
The brain is the seat of our consciousness, identity, and higher thoughts. But it is also a flesh and blood machine that can wear down, grow tired, and malfunction. Learn how to prevent this and be your best.
Become quicker, sharper, smarter, more observant.
THE BRAIN MECHANIC is a guide to how to revitalize, polish, and fix-up your brain. The truth is, you’re probably underperforming mentally. It’s not personal, it’s just how you’re wired. This book provides a series of steps and plans for you to get on track to your best thinking days.
Drawing from the most recent, up-to-date research on brain health.
Peter Hollins has studied psychology and peak human performance for over a dozen years and is a bestselling author. He has worked with a multitude of individuals to unlock their potential and path towards success. His writing draws on his academic, coaching, and research experience.
