Here is an excerpt to prove the easy reading style of this book, "Comprised of billions of neurons, or brains cells, our brains light up with tiny electrical charges when the neurons connect. For example, neurons connect when we perform an action. As we perform the same action repetitively the circuits of those connecting neurons grow larger. As those circuits grow larger it becomes increasingly natural and increasingly easy to repeat the action associated. These circuits may be measured on fMRI machines, functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging machines.
