PAPO CABEÇA
As pessoas têm um tigre dentro da cabeça, mas acreditam ter um gatinho. E se conformam com essa
ideia e até se contentam com ela. O tigre dentro do seu crânio é um animal belo, forte e ágil, porém
seu poder causa muita destruição se não houver controle. Quando assume o domínio do cérebro você
passa a usar seu poder de forma eficiente, o que torna todos os aspectos da vida mais fáceis e prazerosos. Domar o tigre para viver melhor. Essa é a lição que o autor de “Papo Cabeça” propõe ensinar.
O cérebro é muito mais poderoso do que a maior parte de nós imagina, e a inteligência é um conceito
extremamente amplo e elástico – e que se manifesta em atividades tão variadas quanto o cálculo matemático e a dança. A primeira parte do livro é dedicada a explicar o cérebro e suas funcionalidades,
como trabalha cada um de seus componentes e a melhor maneira de manter a boa forma cerebral
com alimentação, sono e atividade física. Na segunda parte, o autor demonstra como o uso eficiente
do cérebro pode resolver problemas pequenos e grandes. Memorizar nomes, vencer a timidez, perder
medos inúteis, ter sucesso no amor e na carreira, juntar dinheiro e até emagrecer. Um cérebro em
forma e bem operado tira de letra essas missões.
PAPO CABEÇA
The brain is a fabulous machine. Much more complex, efficient and powerful than any engine ever built
by man. And in order to propose a deeper understanding of this powerful equipment that LeYa publishing house [described in?] the book “Papo Cabeça” - Dr. Fernando Campos Gomes Pinto , the famous
doctor commentator of the daily program ”Encontro” with Fátima Bernardes , TV Globo.
The book unveils the mysteries of the brain in a simple and fun language, but without sacrificing scientific rigor. A true manual instructions governing the rest of the body.
“People have a tiger inside the head, but believe they have a kitten. And conform to this idea, to be satisfied with it. The brain is much more powerful than most of us realize. The tiger inside your skull is a
beautiful, strong and agile animal, but his power causes a lot of destruction if there is no control. When
it takes control of the brain, you start to use its power efficiently, which makes all aspects of life much
easier and more pleasant. Taming the tiger to live better. That is the lesson that I propose to teach in
this book.”
Doctor Fernando is associate professor of neurosurgery at the USP (Universidade de São Paulo). In his
book,he makes use of features such as fictional plots and everyday examples to explain issues that occupy the mind of a huge portion of the population: shyness , fear , learning new skills , lack of memory,
love, life, money and even weight control. Then presents exercises - the neurodicas - that direct control
from the brain to the smartest way to deal with these issues.
“The title of the first part of the book is self-explanatory: Know Your Brain. In it, you will know what is
inside your skull and understand the operation of each component of the brain. In the second part, How
to use, demonstrate how efficient use of the brain can solve small and large problems. Save names,
overcome shyness, lose useless fears, succeed in love and career, earn
money and lose weight. A brain fit and well operated, will strip these
missions.”
Some books transform the reader. This is the case of “Papo Cabeça”. As
you finished reading the last page, you will become a smarter person
than you were when the reading began. And if you strictly follow Dr.
Fernando’s recommandations,you may be richer and more intelligent.
“The keys to good use of the brain, are emotional control and mental
organization. With emotions under control, you take the reins of his
thought; with a organized mind, you get rid of useless tasks and increases the efficiency of your brain. How to get this control? With some
sweat, I say, learning any task involving dedication, attention, discipline
and some resignation. There is no magic. It’s a matter of prioritizing
what really is worth it. And I guarantee it’s Worth it.”
