“A wonderfully helpful book. After reading it, you will understand what you must do for your brain, and why you must do it.” Norman Doidge, M.D., New York Timesbestselling author of The Brain That Changes Itself..

Did you know that experts are often less mentally agile than jacks of all trades? That crossword puzzles and sudoku are of minimal help in building brainpower? That multitasking poses unique dangers to the brain? Cognitive psychologist Shlomo Breznitz knows and what's more, he knows what to do about it.

In Maximum Brainpower, Breznitz and technologist Collins Hemingway provide both an in depth look at how the brain works and proven methods to increase its capabilities. Armed with the results of cutting edge research, they champion the stimulus of continual change over the deadening effects of comfortable routine, show how to separate good mental stress from bad, and demonstrate how hope and socialization can help defend against forgetfulness, memory loss, even dementia.

Filled with colorful real life stories and fascinating psychological experiments, this revelatory work will help adults of any age keep their minds sharp, healthy, and cognitively fit throughout life. It's a no brainer!
