A lot of people say you use only 10% of your brain, and I get in trouble from thinking too much as it is and I maybe I don't need those parts anyhow. I have heard the surgery will make me calmer and easier to get along with.

Sure go ahead with the surgery and say good bye to these functions orchestrated by your frontal lobes:
1. fine motor movement of arms/hans/fingers
2. complex facial expressions
3. problem solving ability
4. exact mathematical calculations
5. spontaneity
6. planning and execution of social and sexual behaviour (ouch!!)
7. long term memories associated with emotions
8. impulse control
9. language
10. judgement
11. spatial orientation
12. capacity to understand humor
13. capacity to feel empathy for others
...among many others.

No you shouldn't. The statement that people only use 10% of their brains is completely innaccurate.
The right pre-frontal lobe is the area of the brain that has been experimentally connected with personality, so after having it removed, you would be calmer in the sense that you would be a complacent lump.
To the best of my knowledge, they don't do this procedure anymore; it's called a labotomy, and it has a pretty gruesome history.

You don't get in trouble for thinking too much. You just need to think a little more, and you can avoid trouble.
You may not use the full capacity of your brain, but you may use all the parts. So none of them may be completely unnecessary. Even if you knew that you only used part of your brain, you would have to be absolutely sure of which part it was that you didn't use before you had it removed.
If you think you are hard to get on with you should work on your people skills, not have part of your brain removed.
Personally I think that any kind of surgery should be avoided unless absolutely necessary.

Yes, the surgery would do that. Mainly, because the personality is stored in the frontal lobes.

Have you ever seen the film " One flew over the cuckoo's nest?"
starring Jack Nicholson...?
No sane doctor would prescribe a frontal lobotomy unless you were a danger to yourself or others.....DO YOU REALLY WANT TO LOSE THE ABILITY TO PLAN ? Would you like to be a real-life vegetable?

properly based on the region of the stroke he had, that easily would have defined a number of his decompensation. And that is obtainable that he had metastatic maximum cancers to his ideas, nevertheless this would have been easily detected on CT/MRI. There are additionally many reasons for dementia that are thoroughly unrelated to his maximum cancers - maybe he had Alzheimer's or diffuse vascular ailment in his ideas. regrettably, without an post-mortem, there is not any thank you to appreciate for constructive what would have led to his declining psychological prestige.

NO!
A bottle in front of me is so much better than a frontal lobotomy.

Who could tell; who would you impress? An awsome statement might be a gold spike right through your head!! Think of it (while you still can) Every one else has piercings or tatoos, but you, YOU, have a GOLD SPIKE. Right through the middle of yer Friggin' Head. AWESOME. Totally rad. I wish I'd thought of it first.
