REVIEWS
"Know Your Brain provides a brief but comprehensive overview of how our brains work. As a Registered Psychotherapist, I particularly enjoyed reading about the central brain process involved in enquiry. Faith explains how pausing to reflect when feeling stuck is crucial to reframing thoughts that help us to move forward to reach goals."
Monica Murray, Registered Psychotherapist
"Know Your Brain presents an accessible and well-structured introduction to how cognition, emotion, and attention work together through the PEACE model. While necessarily simplified, the book translates complex neuropsychological ideas into clear, practical guidance grounded in real-life examples. Used as a developmental guide rather than a literal account of brain science, it is a thoughtful and encouraging resource, particularly well suited to educational and developmental settings."
