Product Description
The motto of the Olympic Games is faster, higher, stronger. And yet there are physical limits to what the athletic human body can achieve. Not so with the mind. The abilities of the human mind know no limit, and nowhere is this more apparent than in the sphere of mental world records. In this fascinating book noted brain expert Tony Buzan, the inventor of mind mapping, and international chess grandmaster Ray Keene OBE take the reader on a mesmerising tour of the outstanding feats of which the brain is capable. These range through the fields of memory, cards and board games, IQ testing and mental calculation of vast numbers. What emerges is that the power of the brain is virtually without limit It is the most complex organism known to science and the amazing feats performed within these pages are within the grasp of anyone with the will to succeed.

Mental world records,
By Rich (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Buzan's Book of Mental World Records (Paperback)
It is what it says it is, a book about mental world records. Could have benefitted from more explanation of the rules of the memory contest events.Quite a good review of records for different games, from Chess to scrabble. Not the most exciting read overall.
