While recent brain research assures that neuroplasticity continues throughout a lifetime, the bad news is that it takes more effort and sustained practice to change the brains of adults as compared to children. Dawson and Guare distill their research into practical procedures that can be applied to anyoneâs life and provide tools and strategies for improving the brainâs executive skills. Twenty chapters are divided into four parts: understanding the executive in your brain; understanding the impact of executive skills in your daily life; strategies for individual executive skills; aging without losing your edge. There are references, sources, about the authors, and authorâs note.
