What Part of Your Brain Don't You Use???















Hi Everyone!

Seems a recent poll found 65% of people still believe we only use 10% of our brain. Lets think about this. Well, use the 10% of your brain to think about it. :-) If this was true, that would mean 90% of your brain is not used? What parts of your brain then would that be? Where do myths like this come from? Seems this one is being credited to Dale Carnegie's book "How To Win Friends & Influence People." A very popular book and unfortunately one that does not provide scientific proof. So what makes for a good Self-Help book? Here are some questions you should think about when choose one.
