Product Description

From Booklist

Health writer Leviton believes that the human brain is like a muscle: the more you use it, the stronger it gets. And he disagrees with the commonly held notion that cognitive abilities must decrease with age. To "age-proof your brain," Leviton recommends a pragmatic seven-step program that incorporates an understanding of your brain's rhythms with an awareness of how important diet, exercise, and music are to the thought process. Numerous mental calisthenics are presented to promote "alertness, concentration, perceptual speed, learning, memory, problem solving, and creativity." The nature of intelligence and how it is measured are also discussed at length. Though designed with baby boomers in mind, its positive, practical advice makes it equally valuable for high-school or college audiences. Brian McCombie --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Most useful self help book I've ever seen, Dec 17 2002
By john s riggins "jsrcd" (cocoa, fl United States) - See all my reviews
Leviton's writing style is perfect for me. This book is thoroughly practical unlike so many other books with at least half useless or biased filler. Just the few pages on bowel cleansing is worth getting this book. Bravo!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great companion to "Care and Feeding of Your Brain", Jul 10 1999
By A Customer
In writing "The Care and Feeding of Your Brain" I came across good evidence that the mental exercises described in this book can be quite helpful if used regularly. The book is an easy read and much fun! Good Luck!...Ken Giuffre MD ("The Care and Feeding of Your Brain")Career Press 1999.

5.0 out of 5 stars do everything except the spinning and twirling!, Aug 13 1998
By A Customer
My only purpose for purchasing this book was the obvious one, to become more intelligent. However, the author presents a holistic approach which has improved all aspects of my living. I eat better since I now know the importance diet has on the brain. I also do weird things which the author recommends, like boil water with my gold rings in it and then drink the water. The only thing that I don't recommend doing is the spinning. It's supposed to give your brain a "bath." I get too sick and don't think it's worth doing even to make you smarter.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great but be careful
I like the excercises and all, but I am very wary of the new age stuff (meditation, etc). Beware of the wiles of lucifer!
