WHOLE BRAIN POWER The Fountain of Youth for the Mind and Body
by Michael J. Lavery as told to Gregory S. Walsh
Book Concept
Whole Brain Power will change the entire landscape of modern theories on brain development and reveal how each one of us can create within ourselves that elusive fountain of youth and literally rejuvenate our minds and bodies.
This book will have an dramatic impact on an American society ravaged by an undeniable physical decline as evidenced by increasing incidents of Alzheimer’s disease, ADD and ADHD, prescription medications, steroid abuse and poor nutrition. Furthermore, the human brain atrophies as we age through lack of use just as do the muscles of the body. Compounding the decline are societal addictions to excessive television viewing and violent video games, which studies prove lead to brain damage.
Whole Brain Power presents training methodologies designed to grow the brain at any age, cradle to grave, and outlines a comprehensive approach that will lead to a virtual fountain of youth. The book includes an anecdotal/clinical study that backs up this phenomenal claim.
The scientific theories that form the foundation of Whole Brain Power are the result of twenty years of research by author Michael J. Lavery. His understanding of brain function, chemistry and development are cutting edge and yet his training methodologies to create amazing brain and body development are simple and straightforward. Even at 49-years of age, Lavery is perhaps the most ambidextrous athlete on earth. Developing ambidexterity is one of the central pillars of Whole Brain Power.
Whole Brain Power is a must read for anyone who desires to reverse the aging process, who aspires to athletic excellence, or who simply wants to develop the amazing untapped powers of the human brain.
About the Book
As we age our brains shrink, our memory fades, our sex hormones diminish, our athletic prowess deteriorates, our bodies balloon in obesity or decay and wither away in frailty. We increasingly seek refuge from our decline through pharmaceuticals, cosmetic surgery, exercise machines and fad diets. Nothing works.
Then along comes Whole Brain Power™. Brains begin to grow, memory sharpens, sex hormones are produced naturally, athletic prowess improves beyond youthful ability, fat melts away and bodies become strong and lithe.
Yes, it sounds like a veritable fountain of youth. Our anecdotal study will prove that it is indeed a modern day equivalent of Ponce de Leon’s great quest.
Whole Brain Power™ is the result of twenty years of intense research and study into brain functioning, chemistry and development by author Michael J. Lavery. Himself the epitome of the results of Whole Brain Power™ training methodologies, Lavery, at age forty-nine, is quite possibly the world’s most ambidextrous athlete.
But Lavery’s theories and methodologies go far beyond his own astonishing skills in tennis, golf, baseball and hockey. Developing whole brain power is about activating both hemispheres of the brain and harnessing the combined power in a way usually only proscribed to such great geniuses in history as Da Vinci, Michelangelo, Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin. Yes, all those key historic figures were ambidextrous, as were great athletes like Babe Ruth and Mickey Mantle. But Lavery takes whole brain power beyond the development of ambidexterity.
Lavery’s research has lead to a fascinating understanding of brain function, chemistry and growth. He has merged this understanding into cohesive theories that explain how the brain develops, produces hormones, improves memory, improves fine and gross motor skills, and produces increased energy.
The more energy the brain is forced to produce the more effective it’s functioning. It is the same concept as lifting weights leads to stronger, leaner muscle development.
Lavery carefully describes what is happening in the brain in lay man’s terms, steering away from neuroscience jargon that will only serve to alienate the average reader. A professional artist, Lavery will also create detailed sketches of the brain to help the reader “see” what is being described.
Once the theories of the brain are examined, Lavery teaches three main categories of training regimens to achieve Whole brain power: hand-eye coordination drills, memory drills and writing drills. Each has an important impact on both brain and body development. He calls his regimen applied neuroscience.
Whole Brain Power™ is the kind of book that only comes along once in a generation, a book that changes lives, a book that can change the entire American culture.
