  6 books in 1 bundle, all related to whatever happens in your brain! 
  Book 1: Neuroplasticity - Neuroplasticity isn’t widely known, but it is not a new concept either. The principles and methods that refer to it have been tried and tested, and have helped people to remove stress, reorganize their thoughts, and take control of their lives. 
  Book 2: Emotional Maturity - Some people get older and never grow up. Others are very mature for their age. How can you determine when someone is really emotionally mature? And is there a way to become more mature faster?   
  Book 3: Photographic Memory - You may have heard of people who remember everything just by glancing at it: names, faces, numbers, or information. Well, it’s not unrealistic to develop a memory like that yourself. Our brain is like a storage unit - something like a camera storage unit. Data are constantly moving, but only some information sticks.  
  Book 4: Emotional Intelligence - You may have heard of emotional intelligence. You may have even learned a little bit about it. This audiobook, however, can take you to the next level of understanding what to do with the neural processes in your brain and how to channel them to gain more control over yourself and your situation.  
  Book 5: Conscientiousness - Are you applying the power of being conscientious in your life? If you want more out of life, or if you want to be more productive, it’s worth it to learn how to become more conscientious. Conscientiousness has been misunderstood in the past, but now we have a clear comprehension of what it can mean.  
  Book 6: Brain Training - As we all know, we only use a small portion of our brain, and just like muscles in other parts of our body, the brain can be trained to function better. The author will take you by the hand and show you what’s possible, and you will be amazed at what you are capable of.

  The End of the River - Dams...

  “[Harvey] may have created a new literary genre: science travel writing . . . travelogue, autobiography, history, and even fantasy romp alongside the biology” (Quill & Quire).   When biologist Brian Harvey saw a thousand fish blundering into a Brazilian dam, he asked the obvious: What’s going to happen to them? The End of the River is the story of his long search for an answer.   Harvey takes readers from a fisheries patrol boat on the Fraser River to the great Tsukiji fish market in Japan, with stops in the Philippines, Thailand, and assorted South American countries. Finally, in the arid outback of northeast Brazil, against a backdrop of a multi-billion-dollar river project nobody seems to want, he finds a small-scale answer to his simple question.   In recounting his journey, he populates his story with characters both real and imagined, human and otherwise—a six-foot endangered catfish; a Canadian professor with a weakness for Thai bar girls; a chain-smoking Brazilian with a passion for her river; a drug-addled stick-up artist. The End of the River is about fishermen, fish farmers, and fish cops; there are scientists and shysters as well as a few Colombian narcotráficos and some very drunk, very hairy Brazilian men in thongs. From the founder of the World Fisheries Trust, Harvey introduces a new kind of writing about the environment, as far off the beaten track as you can get in a Land Rover driven by a female Colombian biologist whose favorite expression is “No hay via!”—meaning, “no road!”   “[A] freewheeling and vividly written essay on the mysteries and longings of what it is to be human in a world of cynicism and loss—and more significantly, what it is to be hopeful, to persevere, in the search for redemption and beauty . . . A brilliant and instructive book . . . recalls the travel writing of one of Harvey’s heroes, Sir Richard Burton.” —The Globe and Mail (Toronto)
