But we can take action to stop this decline in its tracks.
In Upgrade Your Brain, Patrick Holford, founder of the Good for the Brain Foundation, takes a deep dive into why this is happening, and more importantly, what you can do to improve your brain function.
Through his work at the foundation, Patrick has tested the cognitive function of nearly half a million people, assessing and improving their dementia risk, as well as interviewing world-leading professors and brain-health experts. In this book, he unravels how and why our modern diet and lifestyle have inevitable led to a brain-health meltdown.

upgrade your mental energy
improve your mood and motivation
sleep better and reduce anxiety
sharpen your memory
dementia-proof your diet and lifestyle

In the modern information age, our brain’s coping mechanisms have been overloaded, and our irrationality turned up to eleven. Amanda Montell blends cultural criticism and personal narrative to explore our modern cognitive biases and the power, disadvantages and highlights of magical overthinking.
"Magical thinking" can be broadly defined as the belief that one's internal thoughts can affect unrelated events in the external world. Whether that's "manifesting" their way out of poverty, staving off cancer with positive vibes, or transforming an unhealthy relationship to a glorious one through loyalty alone.
In a series of razor sharp and introspective chapters, Montell delves into cognitive biases that run rampant in our brains, from how the "halo effect" cultivates worship (and hatred) of larger-than-life celebrities, to how the "sunk cost fallacy" can keep us in detrimental relationships long after they no longer serve us.
Told with her signature brilliance and wit, Montell's prevailing message is one of hope and forgiveness for our anxiety riddled human self. If you have all but lost faith in our ability to reason through the noise of information overload, this book aims to make sense of the senseless. To crack open a window in our minds and let the fresh air in. To help quiet the cacophony for a while, and maybe, even hear a melody in it.
