Positively Smarter brings together seven principles for connecting the science of neuroplasticity to practical strategies for enhancing the synergy of happiness, achievement, and physical well-being. Moving beyond common myths, the text builds an evidence-based paradigm to empower readers to take practical steps to move forward. * Brings together current research on cognitive psychology, education (learning), and implications of neuroscience to suggest powerful ways to enhance the kind of cognitive function and productivity that leads to happiness and success * Applies implications of current research showing that happiness is a skill and that positive affect can lead to higher levels of creative problem solving, productivity, achievement, and well-being * Shares research and strategies for supporting physical activity and nutrition that may enhance neuroplasticity, cognitive performance, and positive affect * Puts learners first and then brings in the science, presenting creative or adaptive strategies that can be applied in the real world * Includes action assessments to guide readers in taking concrete steps to achieve the goals they set for themselves * Identifies deeply held assumptions that innate talent, genes, socioeconomic status, and ethnicity mean that a significant percentage of the population lacks the neurocognitive potential to achieve at higher levels * Draws on the authors' research from a broad range of fields in order to maximize the positive impact of a synergistic approach

Rezensionen
"A fine book that authoritatively communicates the increasing scientific base to empower educators with solid evidence to improve their professional practice and enhance their own well-being. Former works appropriately had to add perhaps and maybes to much of the text."
Robert Sylwester, EdD, University of Oregon

"This book is a captivating read that contains definitive and clear steps to guide the reader on the path to becoming 'positively smarter.' More than a typical 'self-help' book, Positively Smarter provides real, attainable direction for every reader!"
Lisa Holder Lohmann, EdD, University of Central Oklahoma

"Positively Smarter supports parents as they seek strategies that will support their children in an environment that is changing at record speed."
Kelly Rose, EdD, The Out-of-Door Academy

"Positively Smarter is a wonderful resource and thoughtful compilation of ground-breaking research and discoveries into the complex phenomenon of personal success. The integration of scientific data, personal vignettes, and practical suggestions for making positive changes in one's life drives home the idea that with effort, perseverance, hope, and setting realistic goals, we can all succeed."
