John provides 12 rules for increasing brain power at work, home, and school. The rules include: exercising to boost brain power; understanding that the human brain is evolved for survival; recognizing that every brain is wired differently; paying attention to interesting things; using short-term memory by repeating information; forming long-term memories by repeating information over time; sleeping well to think well; being aware that stress impacts learning; stimulating multiple senses; noting that vision dominates other senses; and embracing natural human tendencies for exploration.

- 18. Exercise: Exercise boosts brain power. • Because of the way humans have evolved, one can predict that the optimal environment for processing information include motion. • We should be moving at work to be most productive. Get up from your desk throughout the day (about every hour
- 19. Survival: The human brain is evolved, too. 1. The brain is a survival organ designed to solve problems related to surviving in an unstable environment; and although we are not the strongest on our planet, we have the most developed brains. 2. We have to feel safe to perform at our optimal; developing relationships with people at work is important so that you feel safe in that environment.
- 20. Wiring: Every brain is wired differently 1. We are hard wired to be flexible! Everyone’s brain is wired differently and regions of the brain develop at different rates in different people. 2. Do things that develop/stimulate your brain activity to help develop the different areas of your brain.
