5.0 out of 5 stars Interesting, interactive popular book about a vital subject, 24 Dec 1998

By A Customer

This husband and wife team have written a winning book about a very important subject--the brain. Dr. Winter is a neurosurgeon and director of the New Jersey Neurological Institute. Ruth Winter has an M.S. and is a colulmnist and author of numerous popular health and science books. They are a winning writing team because this book is informative and easy to read. I especially enjoyed the excellent activities and brain-building examples that are included, such as the list memorization (on page 98) and the face identification (on pages 98-100). There is a glossary in the back and lots of information on the numerous aspects of our brain that we should exercise--which will improve the brain's function. I am especially intrigued by this book because my 76 year old mother recently started learning how to play bridge. She told me she was doing it partly because it was important for her to learn something new as a way of keeping her brain functioning better! Sound advice for us all as this excellent book attests! As the subtitle indicates: "Easy Ways to Power UP Your Memory, Sensory Perception, and Intelligence"

3.0 out of 5 stars nothing you haven't read before, 22 Jun 1998

By A Customer

Overall, the suggestions for powering up your brain are very easy. Many of the techniques are very similar to what you probably no doubt have read in popular magazines. However, there are quite a large number of techniques that focus more on the psychokinetics of improving brain-power, such as challenging your senses. The book also dips briefly into mnemonics, but only gives you a taste -- it sends you to other books for further reference. So, if you're looking for something substantial, this is not the book for you. If you are looking for ideas brainstormed by other people, then you might want to look at this.

3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting and boring., 3 Jun 1999

By A Customer

Some of the information in this book is interesting, but most is old information. I was looking for something new such as research with Light & Sound machines for changing your brainwaves to achieve goals, be creative, learning, etc or something about the new Neurosync interactive behavior modification software that's our of R&D and into production. So even though it's well written and has a lot of good information, it is not up to date as far as research and technology.
