The Teenage Brain: A Neuroscientist's Survival Guide… par Frances E. Jensen

Good information, too bad that many of the examples are about teens who attend private schools or Ivy League colleges.

The Teenage Brain: A Neuroscientist's Survival Guide… par Frances E Jensen

I wish I could have liked it a bit more, and the beginning was good, but some chapters just didn't apply to me and my children, such as drug usage, concussion, etc. There are parts of the books that I wanted to skip forward, but I wasn't sure if I may miss something important among the long stories to make her point. Not bad, but could have been better.

The Teenage Brain: A Neuroscientist's Survival Guide… par Frances E Jensen

neuroscience (teen brains). I think I wanted more of a direct: This is what you should know, this is how you should approach this. I think that info is probably in here somewhere, but the writing style is more of a conversational, this is why I decided I would write this book, etc. and this is the basic crash course in neuroscience, etc. and I didn't have patience to get to the rest.

The Teenage Brain: A Neuroscientist's Survival Guide… par Frances E. Jensen

This was a very interesting and easy to read book. I love brain stuff because it is just so interesting but if you have never read anything about the human brain this a great book to start with. Jensen and Nutt make this so accessible, interesting, and informative. They explain terms, tests, and give picture with the information so that the reader can see and understand what they are writing about. This could have been a very difficult read but I think that Nutt helped make it very readable. Jensen has decades of working with children and adolescents to backup her data. Nutt is a writer for Scientific American. The chapters are broken up by the things that teens and young adults could get into that would affect their brains. Reading about what growing up in an environment with smoking or drinking or abuse does to the brain was both interesting and frightening. Seeing the brains of people who had that versus the ones that did not was very eye-opening. If you know anything about brain science you will enjoy this book like I did. The author's also include some history about how children, adolescents, and young adults have been seen by society.

I give this book a Five out of Five stars. I was given this book for free in exchange for an honest review.… (plus d'informations)
