Medina's books include: Brain Rules (New York Times Bestseller), Brain Rules for Baby, The Genetic Inferno, The Clock of Ages, Depression, What You Need to Know About Alzheimer’s, The Outer Limits of Life, Uncovering the Mystery of AIDS, and Of Serotonin, Dopamine and Antipsychotic Medications.

Medina has a lifelong fascination with how the mind reacts to and organizes information. As the father of two boys, he has an interest in how the brain sciences might influence the way we teach our children. In addition to his research, consulting, and teaching, Medina speaks often to public officials, business and medical professionals, school boards, and nonprofit leaders.

In a keynote presentation or dynamic workshop, Medina guides you through his 12 Brain Rules, things you should know about how the brain works. With fascinating stories and his characteristic sense of humor, he'll explain:

• why multi-tasking is a myth-and what happens when you try to type an e-mail and talk on the phone at the same time
• that every employee and every customers' brain is wired differently
• how exercise, sleep, and stress affect the brain
• just what makes most computer slide presentations so very boring
• that we have a Jennifer Aniston neuron. Really.
• and much more!

Medina tailors each presentation to the needs of his audience.
