There has never been a craze like Beanie Babies. The $5 beanbag animals with names like Seaweed the Otter and Gigi the Poodle drove millions of Americans into a greed-fueled frenzy as they chased the rarest Beanie Babies, whose values escalated weekly in the late 1990s. A single Beanie Baby sold for $10,000, and on eBay the animals comprised 10 percent of all sales.

Sucked me into the crazy world of not just Beanie Babies but Ty Warner's as well. I never knew how much went into plush toys.

Most of us have no idea what's really going on inside our heads. Yet brain scientists have uncovered details every business leader, parent, and teacher should know - such as the brain's need for physical activity to work at its best. How do we learn? What exactly do sleep and stress do to our brains? Why is multi-tasking a myth? Why is it so easy to forget - and so important to repeat new information? Is it true that men and women have different brains?

Would you listen to Brain Rules again? Why?
I'd listen to it again, only because you have to in order to really get the material. It's not that it's presented poorly, but because it does at times delve into very great detail about how the brain functions. And if you're driving and listening, you sometimes lose some of the important info if your mind wanders even for a second. But the material is solid and eye opening.
Would you be willing to try another book from John J. Medina? Why or why not?
Yes. He does break down how the human brain operates and is able to ask the reader very thought-provoking questions to ponder.
What about John J. Medina’s performance did you like?
I loved his performance. He was very animated in an appropriate way and made learning about the brain a pleasure.
What insight do you think you’ll apply from Brain Rules?
I think I'd apply mostly the sections on child development since we have a 2-month old.
