Rich brain, poor brain
Description
Book Introduction
Why do some people, even under similar circumstances, become wealthy, while others repeatedly fall into poverty? The author wrote this book after interviewing numerous wealthy people and realizing that their thoughts, speech, and daily routines are distinctly different from those of the poor.
So, is it possible that there are separate ‘rich circuits’ and ‘poor circuits’ in our brains?

The author concludes:
Poverty is not a state of 'not having money', but a pattern of choices, and the brain circuitry that drives that pattern.
Some people gradually increase their wealth even though they receive the same salary, while others struggle because their annual salary increases are always insufficient.
Even when faced with the same opportunity, some people say, “This has nothing to do with me,” while others say, “My potential lies in this.”
This difference does not come from the intelligence of the head, but from the circuitry the brain follows.
The circuitry of the rich is not already built into the brains of smarter people, but rather those who recall clearer images, repeat them more frequently, and persist longer.
This book cross-references brain science, psychology, behavioral economics, and the thinking patterns of real wealthy people.
It shows specifically which thoughts stimulate dopamine circuits, which habits lead to immersion, and which inner language moves the subconscious.
And it makes readers aware of the circuits they are unconsciously repeating, and gives them the confidence that they can consciously redesign those circuits.

We always hear that we must 'live hard', but what is truly important is the 'direction' of our hard work.
Willpower is easily depleted, and emotions fluctuate dozens of times a day.
In the end, what changes people is not their ‘will’ but their ‘circuits’.
Circuits are formed by repeated language, repeated images, and repeated actions, and once a circuit is formed, it tends to maintain and strengthen itself.
The old saying, "If you want to change your fate, change your habits and personality," was an insight that saw through the fact that if you change your lifestyle, your brain's circuits will change, and if your circuits change, your life will change.


The brain doesn't remember things like will.
No matter how much I resolve to do something, I am always swayed by my emotions.
But repetition sticks in the brain.
The actions we frequently perform determine the circuits in our brain, and the brain follows those circuits to determine our next choices.
So, we must realize that life changes through ‘daily routines’ rather than ‘one awakening.’
With just five minutes a day, even that short repetition, your brain begins to learn new responses.
A rich brain is not something you are born with, it is something you build every day.
The tool for that piece is 'small training'.
This book first shows the characteristics of the rich brain and the poor brain, and then provides various methods in daily life to change the circuitry of the rich brain.
‘30-day training to rewrite brain circuits’ and ‘MBS 6 steps to create a rich brain’ are attached as workbooks.

Publisher's Review
Why do I always run into the same problem?
Why can't I put into practice the good information I know?
Why do I always give up on something I start after only three days?
The answer to that question is because that's how your brain's circuitry is designed.

But don't give up.
"Rich Brain, Poor Brain" will make you look into the circuits of your subconscious and provide you with a blueprint for redesigning your mind and brain.


This book is neither a grand success story nor a cliche wealth philosophy.
A practical guide to how people who understand the brain can redesign their lives.
By the end of the book, you'll have a new perspective on not only your attitude toward money, but also the way you speak, your emotional control, and the strategies you use to maintain your daily habits.

This book doesn't change your 'abilities'.
But you can change your company.
And when the circuit changes, the ability is sure to follow.
