The Brain Blueprint

Your brain is not fixed. It is being built and rebuilt every day. The question is: are you helping it or harming it?

For twenty years, leading neurosurgeon Dr Soumya Mukherjee has operated on and fixed the human brain. He has seen what happens when it is injured, what allows it to recover and the extraordinary capacity it has to change.

Now, he reveals what we can all do to build a healthier brain – and keep it off the operating table.

In The Brain Book, Mukherjee takes us from the operating theatre to the cutting edge of neuroscience to reveal the surprising ways our everyday choices shape the organ that shapes us. From the way we breathe and care for our teeth, how we apply our skincare, the people we spend time with and more.

Drawing on extraordinary cases from his career alongside the latest research, Mukherjee reveals how our brains are living systems under continuous construction – capable of adapting, repairing and rebuilding throughout our lives.

The Brain Blueprint gives us the science and practical tools to strengthen, protect and futureproof our brains, revealing that the brain you have today does not have to be the brain you have tomorrow.

You only get one brain. This is how to build it for life.
