No surprise there. But what is surprising is that regardless of whether these top performers are athletes, musicians, or CEOs, their brains share one feature that makes them stand out: more integrated functioning. Their brains work in a more coherent, relaxed, wakeful, and efficient way. Other features these top performers have in common include intensely happy and fulfilling peak experiences and a greater moral sense. Readers also learn how they, too, can effortlessly develop greater brain integration. About the authors: Dr. Harald S. Harung is an interdisciplinary peak performance researcher at Oslo Metropolitan University in Norway. For many years he taught ?Leadership, ethics, and world-class performance? to classes of up to 500 students. Harald holds a Ph.D. from the University of Manchester, and has worked as a researcher at Oxford University, naval officer, CEO of an engineering company, and president of an international business college. Dr. Frederick Travis has been Director of the Center for Brain, Consciousness, and Cognition at Maharishi International University in the US since 1990. His work has focused on brain development from birth to adulthood, higher states of consciousness, and the effects of meditation experiences on the brain. Fred and Harald were the first researchers in the world to find a brain basis of high performance. . 606 $aNeuropsychology 606 $aNeuropsychology 615 0$aNeuropsychology. 615 14$aNeuropsychology. 676 $a612.8 700 $aHarung$b Harald S$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01825570 702 $aTravis$b Frederick$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911007469703321 996 $aWorld-Class Brain$94393368 997 $aUNINA
