Summary
What if everything you've been told about the ageing brain is wrong?
There is a myth that as we age, we lose our edge: in other words, we stop being cognitively on top of our game. World-leading neuroscientist Ian Robertson is determined to show us that doesn't have to be the case. In Brainspan, he reveals a far more empowering truth: your brain can keep growing, adapting and strengthening well into later life.
Drawing on over 40 years cutting-edge research, Ian Robertson explains how your brain evolves across adulthood through distinct phases that unlock new strengths in judgement, emotional intelligence, creativity and resilience. You'll discover how challenge and learning physically reshape your brain, and why many of your most valuable mental abilities peak long after your thirties. With evidence-based strategies that build lifelong cognitive edge, this book replaces anxiety about ageing with confidence and control.
