| It seems natural that BrainHQ improves brain functions—like memory and processing speed—but you might be surprised to hear that multiple studies have also shown that using BrainHQ improves balance, gait, and mobility. Recently, a paper was published based on data from the ACTIVE Study—a large, 10-year study—that confirmed and extended the results from prior studies. This study showed that those at a high risk for falls significantly reduced their fall incidence in the decade following just a modest amount of BrainHQ training. BrainHQ improves the processing speed and accuracy of the visual-spatial and motor control systems, which play a critical role in balance, gait and mobility.

Awe: The New Science of Everyday Wonder and How It Can Transform Your Life (2023)

He has spent a long time thinking about the psychological, neurological, and biological implications of emotions—and awe is one of his specialties. In his new book, he draws attention to the ways that the feeling of awe dissolves the sense of self, helping people feel more connected to a larger whole. And that, he argues, has profound implications for your health and wellness—which is precisely why you should work to experience awe more often. Learn more. |
