商品描述
This book tells the story of world-class performers and offers an easy-to-read introduction to research showing that their brain function is different from the brains of average performers. 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.

這本書講述了世界級表現者的故事，並提供了一個易於閱讀的介紹，顯示他們的腦功能與一般表現者的腦部功能不同。這並不令人驚訝。但令人驚訝的是，無論這些頂尖表現者是運動員、音樂家還是執行長，他們的腦部都有一個共同特徵，使他們脫穎而出：更高的整合功能。他們的腦部以更一致、放鬆、清醒和高效的方式運作。
這些頂尖表現者還有其他共同特徵，包括強烈的快樂和充實的巔峰體驗以及更高的道德感。讀者還將學習如何輕鬆地發展更高的腦部整合能力。

作者簡介
Dr. Harald S. Harung is an interdisciplinary researcher with a focus on peak performance, both on the individual and organizational levels. He is a high performer in lecturing, writing, and the sport of orienteering. 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. He was for many years teaching "Leadership, ethics, and world-class performance" to classes of up to 500 students at Oslo Metropolitan University in Norway. Harald has developed a Unified Theory of Performance, which states that higher mind-brain-development is the basis of higher performance in all professions and human activities. He has published over 50 papers and five books, and lectures worldwide. 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 has published over 90 papers and four books. He teaches on the undergraduate, master's, and doctoral levels and lectures globally on brain and consciousness. The New York Academy of Sciences has invited Fred to present his research there. Fred and Harald together were the first researchers in the world to find a brain-basis of high performance, which form a pillar of understanding excellence.
