Publisher's summary

The Brain Always Wins is the practical guide to improving your life through better brain management. It is based on one simple fact: our brain controls and determines everything we do! How we perceive, understand and respond to the world, how we survive, adapt and communicate, how we learn and remember, the decisions we make and the emotions we feel are all determined by our amazing brain. We have to take care of our brain because it takes cares of us! And the great news is that we can!

In The Brain Always Wins John Sullivan and Chris Parker combine science and storytelling, teaching us all how to create our own personalised brain-management process. So if you want to improve any - or all - aspects of your life, from personal to professional and anything in between, The Brain Always Wins will show you how.

Excellent writing distracting narration

I love the content but the narrator’s unusual accent and pronunciations was distracting and took some effort to understand even common words like “beta”.

Odd narration

I like Luke Mullins when he uses his actual accent. Or even a UK accent. This "American" accent is straight up distracting. especially because he continues to pronounce Epinephrine as "uh-PEEN-uh-FREEN. No North American would say that. Book is terrific.

Interesting book but the narrator was robotic

I found the narrator really hard to listen to - his intonation was very robotic/AI and I struggled with the fact that all his science terms were pronounced weirdly - the way siri pronounces place names. This is already a droll topic, and it needed a more human voice to bring it to life, in my opinion. The narrator DID have a lovely voice - just needs work on being less robotic.

good baseline for true optimal performance

good book for a foundation on brain health, optimization. be prepared for the awkward computer voice, not sure if they did that on purpose.

it's a quick listen, worth the money

Could not finish even the first chapter

The reader’s enunciation was hella off. Sigh-napses? Meh-JOO-lah? And then that eastern accent? Nope. I just can’t. Everything I’ve heard so far is ridiculously high on the human-brains-are-the-awesomest cheerleading scale, too. Just. No.

No useful information and lots of misinformation

Wow, this really bad. The author doesn't seem to know the difference between causation and correlation. Just spouts a lot of barely relevant studies then says, "see I told you the brain is important." Well, duh. Don't waste your time.

The book was very slow and repetitive then with little to no translation this book became very complex.

Unimpressed

I only wish there had been more information about this book in the description (or chapter titles) so I wouldn’t waste so much time. Complete waste of time!
