 Przeczytaj fragment

dr hab. Aneta R. Borkowska, prof. Uniwersytetu Marii Curie-Skłodowskiej:

Dużym walorem książki jest jej wymiar praktyczny. Autorka prowadzi swojego rodzaju dialog z Czytelnikiem, bezpośrednio wskazując na konkretne elementy diagnostyki neuropsychologicznej przydatnej w konkretnych problemach pacjenta. Przedstawia także, jak ocena neuropsychologiczna może pomóc studentom, osobom mającym trudności w pracy, czy też opiekunom osób starszych. Podkreśla również, że ocena neuropsychologiczna może pomóc lekarzom w diagnozowaniu i leczeniu różnych zaburzeń poznawczych.

Autorka omawia znaczenie właściwej diety, dobrego snu, ćwiczeń fizycznych, jogi, aktywnej nauki, medytacji oraz nawiązania kontaktu z duchowością. Wszystkie te elementy są kluczowe dla zdrowia mózgu i umysłu. Warto podkreślić, że w książce zawarto mnóstwo praktycznych wskazówek, które każdy może zastosować w swoim życiu.
