On average, it's said that we use just 25 per cent of our brain's capacity. Yet by flexing our mental muscles regularly, we can create new neural pathways in the brain - and our thoughts become a physical reality. With a little brain training, we can all get smarter. "The Brain Power Workout" presents simple yet highly effective ways to activate your brain power, and use it to achieve what you want from life. The book divides into four primary sections: How You Think, How to Remember, The Brain-power Lifestyle, and Challenges and Exercises. Beginning with a concise introduction to the mysteries of the physical brain, the core of the book demonstrates the essential mental skills we need to be effective, which include logic, recall and communication, as well as emotional intelligence and creativity. The Challenges and Exercises section is a substantial set of self-tests printed on uncoated paper, so you can easily fill in answers to questions. The answers section follows right after the tests to keep page-turning to a minimum. With more than 300 examples and tests, this easy-to-use workout targets the brain's key areas, improving confidence and bringing success at work and in your personal life.
