Like any other organ, the brain needs a workout to function at its best. So smarten it up with 150 stimulating tasks, games and puzzles. Each fun and thought-provoking exercise is graded for level of difficulty and has an accompanying icon showing which part of the mind it will challenge. The benefits can be considerable, including improved grades, better concentration and focus at work, and a more powerful memory. Start your "brain training" with an extensive self-test to determine the areas of your mind in need of special attention--perhaps creativity, emotional intelligence, problem solving or communication. Or dive right in and start exercising all parts of your mind right away. Of course, hints and answers are provided, but stalwarts will want to use the pull-out panels on the cover to obscure the solutions. For better memory, sharper decision making, and overall mind development, these games, exercises and quizzes can't be beat.
