Brain Rules
Dr. John Medina

Dr. John Medina, director of the Brain Center for Applied Learning Research at Seattle Pacific University tells us about a few of the 12 principles for surviving and thriving at work, at home and at school. He tells us why kids should be limited when playing video games and watching TV and that cell phones, even with an ear piece, should never be used while operating a car. He says multi-tasking is a myth.

It's good information from those who understand much of the mystery of our minds and why we are the way we are.
