Winner of the 2020 British Psychological Society Popular Science Award and the 2018 Royal Society Science Book Award.
Sarah-Jayne Blakemore, a world-renowned scientist, explains how the adolescent brain transforms as it develops and shapes the adults we become. Her research sheds light on:
- What makes the adolescent brain different?
- Why does an easy child become a challenge in adolescence?
- What leads to the excessive risks and the intense need for friendships observed in teenagers?
- Why do many mental illnesses - depression, addiction, schizophrenia - begin during these critical years?
Blakemore shows that while adolescence is a period of vulnerability, it is also a time of immense creativity and opportunity.
