You can influence how you feel, think, react and perform

Your brain is a complex machine that controls everything from focus and mood to energy and sleep. And even if it is sometimes knocked off balance by our stressful everyday lives, there are ways to take control.

It only takes a simple change, such as dressing in colour to trigger a dopamine release, going for a rhythmic walk to calm the nervous system or eating turkey to boost seroto nin.

The Brain Potential is full of concrete tools and scientifi cally based methods to provide you with knowledge about brain chemistry, and how it affects and is affected by your thoughts, feelings, body, and behaviours.

Divided into six techniques – or, medicines – to help you build a sustainable lifestyle that supports both performance and recovery:

• Medicine No. 1: Hack your neurotransmitters

• Medicine No. 2: Regulate your nervous system

• Medicine No. 3: Optimise your sleep

• Medicine No. 4: Direct your focus

• Medicine No. 5: Nudging – make it easy to do the right thing

• Medicine No. 6: Train your psychological flexibility

The Brain Potential is for those who want to regain control of their lives in a natural way.
