Introducing the user guide for the ultimate super computer:
Your Brain
In a world where millions of people spend hours working on their body in the gym and devouring
information on self-improvement to be the best version of themselves they can be, it is remarkable that so
many are still completely clueless about how their brain is the key to them achieving and maintaining
success. Unfortunately, the brain doesn’t come with a user guide, but a ground-breaking new book, Sort
Your Brain Out combines the expertise of one of the world’s leading motivational speakers and a famous
neuroscientist to help readers unlock the potential of the most powerful tool they will ever own.
The authors, Dr Jack Lewis and Adrian Webster, both spend their careers helping people to prepare
themselves for tough challenges and capitalise on opportunities, but they have two different approaches
to the same problem.
Since receiving his neuroscience doctorate in 2005, Dr Jack Lewis has been dedicated to increasing
everyone’s understanding and interest in their own brain, and is recognisable as the neuroscience expert
for ITV’s This Morning, as well as starring on BBC, Channel 4, Sky One, Discovery and MTV. Adrian Webster
is a best-selling author and one of the most sought-after motivational speakers in Europe, delivering
hilarious, engaging talks to business leaders worldwide, including recently sharing a stage with Tony Blair
to address the Swiss Economic Forum.
Sort Your Brain Out provides fascinating insights into the science of the brain with actionable advice that
doesn’t overwhelming the reader with jargon. Its accessible style allows readers to make a real difference
to how they use their brain for day-to-day challenges, such as:
Cyber Heads: The internet and smart phones mean we have a world of information literally at our
fingertips, so how have our brains changed to deal with ever-increasing speeds of technology, and how do
we stay the master of our digital devices?
Hold On To Your Marbles: Once you’re past your mid-twenties your brain actually begins to shrink, but a
reduction in quantity doesn’t necessarily have to mean a decline in quality. Age Related Cognitive Decline

(ARCD) is an inevitable part of life for all of us, but for most the ability to slow down this process so it kicks
in as late as possible it is largely within our control – so how do we apply the brakes?
Smart Drugs: Whether it is an aspirin, a morning coffee or a glass of wine, all of us routinely take chemical
substances to affect the way we feel or perform, but what affect do these chemicals really have on our
brains, and what should we be reaching for when we need a little brain optimisation?
Gone Fishing For Great Ideas: Have you ever wondered why your best ideas come while you’re in the bath,
on the train or on the toilet? Your brain is constantly coming up with ideas and solutions, but what should
you be doing to put yourself in the best position to tune in to receive them?
Food For Thought: Your body has a complex system between the brain and the gut to transmit messages
about whether you are hungry or full, but crucially there is a 15 to 20 minute time lag for the message to
be received. How can we change our eating habits to work with our brains, how do sugars and fats affect
our brain, and how do we make sure we are giving our brain the right fuel?

range of brain-related topics.
