Surviving The Teenage Brain will forever change your perception of what teenagers are all about. Who are they and why do they do what they do? Who knew they had anything in common with some of the world’s greatest thinkers? What do Mozart, Mark Zuckerberg, The Beatles and Einstein all have in common? Believe it or not their greatest ideas were formed during their teen years. This is the time that scientists now tell us is the most important in the human lifecycle and a key evolutionary factor in the success of the species - the prefrontal cortex goes through a wild growth spurt that coincides with the onset of adolescence.

Using hilarious, Jackass-inspired stunts, comic book style graphics and some of the best minds in the field, Surviving: The Teenage Brain looks at the science deep within the teen brain and celebrates evolution’s masterpiece – the years that bring us judgment, adaptation and innovation. This could change the way we school, parent and motivate these transitional Homo sapiens. It might even make them easier to live with! Narrated by David Suzuki.
