Welcoming “Como Investir no Seu Cérebro?”

November 5, 2018 by Alvaro Fernandez

It is a plea­sure to announce the pub­li­ca­tion of the Por­tuguese edi­tion of The Sharp­Brains Guide to Brain Fit­ness, by Edições Sílabo, and with a beau­ti­ful pref­ace by Dr. Alexan­dre Cas­tro Cal­das, Direc­tor of the Health Sci­ences Insti­tute in Lisbon!

If you speak Por­tuguese here’s a great book on brain health and brain fit­ness (lit­er­al­ly, the title means “How to invest in your brain,” same as in the Span­ish edition).

SINOPSE (in Portuguese):

Todos sabe­mos que deve­mos inve­stir na nos­sa saúde, na nos­sa edu­cação, na nos­sa car­reira profis­sion­al, em planos de poupança. Mas poucos sabem porque e como inve­stir no nos­so mais impor­tante recur­so: o cérebro.

Numa área tão apaixo­nante e nova como é a da ciên­cia do cére­bro, este livro é um guia estim­u­lante e práti­co, com valiosa infor­mação e con­sel­hos úteis para que o leitor pos­sa mel­ho­rar o rendi­men­to atu­al e futuro do seu cére­bro, enrique­cen­do deste modo a sua qual­i­dade de vida e saúde mental.

«(…) Este livro não é só mais um livro descreven­do as funções cere­brais, pelo con­trário ele revê com rig­or cien­tí­fi­co a lit­er­atu­ra atu­al, chaman­do a atenção para as fontes de infor­mação que são mais fidedig­nas — cuida­do com as notí­cias dos jor­nais! — e trazen­do as respostas dos próprios autores num diál­o­go sim­ples. Em tem­pos li algures que nos fal­ta­va um livro de instruções para cuidar­mos de nós próprios e do enorme val­or daqui­lo que pos­suí­mos em ter­mos de com­petên­cia men­tal. Aqui fica uma impor­tante con­tribuição para esse obje­ti­vo. (…) Leiam, então, este pre­cioso livro e pre­parem-se para os próx­i­mos capítulos.»
— Alexan­dre Cas­tro Cal­das, Pro­fes­sor Cat­e­dráti­co de Neu­rolo­gia Uni­ver­si­dade Católi­ca de Lis­boa. Direc­tor do Insti­tu­to de Ciên­cias da Saúde.
