Aging begins unexpectedly early and from somewhere unexpected. That is, emotions.
In scientific terms, it means that the frontal lobe of our brain ages first. This atrophies and begins to age around the age of 40~50. As a result, the emotional control function, spontaneity, motivation, and creativity that the frontal lobe controls decline.
This book introduces the functions of the frontal lobe and specific methods of "brain anti-aging," or training of the frontal lobe to prevent its aging.
