Product Description

Review

"The authors have succeeded in presenting much of what is known in the scientific community about cognitive aging and memory into a language that's easy for readers without scientific or medical backgrounds. The exercises are similar to those used successfully in laboratory studies to improve a variety of cognitive skills and enhance mental flexibility in normal, aging people." -- K. Warner Schaie Ph.D., Evan Pugh Professor of Human Development and Psychology and Director -- Gerontology Center -- Pennsylvania State University

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book, great condition, Sep 20 2011
This review is from: Mind Games: The Aging Brain and How to Keep It Healthy (Paperback)
This book is all the title says and more. There is good science in it, easy to read information, great tips to apply to our aging lives and brains and games that make sense because they are put into context and the brain areas that will be improved are explained. I am very pleased with this purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars I loved this book!, Nov 20 2000
This review is from: Mind Games: The Aging Brain and How to Keep It Healthy (Paperback)
The authors blended together (in eloquent prose) concepts, strategies and techniques to sharpen the mind. This book is not merely one to read, but a book to study and review periodically. It contains valuable information that one needs, and should know about the human brain. The authors did their research and it shows. They combined substance, style, and wit in presenting their information in a manner that makes the material "unforgettable". If you are looking for a gift that just about anyone can benefit from, this is it! It was a terrific gift I gave myself!
