I work in a after school programs and in the boys in my class seemed to love this book series.

Brain Rules is one of the best books I've read in a long time. The author, John Medina, is a developmental molecular biologist (I think I got that right) that studies how the brain develops, and his passion for what he does rings throughout the book. The concept is simple -- 12 rules about how your brain works that, since you can't change them, you need to understand and work with for maximum efficiency. From getting enough exercise and sleep to how infants brains are tuned into exploration and how we adults can keep that drive to explore going, the rules are both straightforward and profound in their implications. One of my favorite pars of the book is that Medina, as a scientist, is very open about saying what science does and doesn't know, and ends each chapter with ideas for research that could further our understanding of each rule. He doesn't just talk about what we know, but also tries to spark the interest of others to push for what we don't know.
