5.0 out of 5 stars Pure Genius, not ONLY for those wanting to increase IQ score, 24 Oct 2002
This review is from: Brain Power: The 12-Week Mental Training Programme (Paperback)
With 155 exercises, this book tops the lot of intelligence building, as this book is now on it's 8th reprint and the Author Marilyn vos Savant has an IQ of 230, ( the highest ever recorded ), she shows you in her easy to understand book how you can increase you IQ score and get more out of life. I posses a few books on this subject and I don't believe you can achieve great feats in 12 weeks or less, as it takes between 1 and 2 years minimum, but it is a fantastic book which you can use as a guide showing you how to build vocabulary, math, logic, intuition, communication, attention span and much more with absolute EASE!
Enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars A book that makes you think, 16 Jul 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Brain Power: The 12-Week Mental Training Programme (Paperback)
This book will demand a lot of patience from the reader, after the first two chapters until you get to the final three chapters. The final chapters are excellent material that should make the reader think, and hopefully solve difficulties in personal relationships. Some very useful quotes from the book are:

Brain Builder #147 in chapter 14: "Begin to treat family members more impersonally, as you would business associates....Don't become emotional with your parents; you wouldn't do it with a client or coworker. You wouldn't shout at a client, 'You never listen to anything I say!'"

Brain Builder #149: "Would you come to work in a bathrobe? No, you dress with dignity for the office, but you can ruin the dignity by snippets of personal behaviour that are out of place, and because of which, consciously or unconsciously, others pin labels on you....The strong possibility exists that you're giving people the ammunition they can use against you."

From chapter 15: "The most crucial step you should have mastered by now in Brain Building is perhaps the hardest: admitting that you have made errors, can make errors, do make errors, and will make errors....A positive side effect is an increase in your popularity; people really seem to love somebody who confesses to erring....Power thinking is not based on 'opinion'. The word is a crutch, spoken merely to lend dignity to groundless thinking. People who have no reasonable means of intellectual support say, 'I have a right to my opinion.' Don't you be one of them....It's not the courage of convictions I admire, it's the accuracy, and that accuracy only comes from a diligent pursuit of the truth."

I am thankful to the author for this book. It has really enlightened my thinking.

1.0 out of 5 stars Marilyn vos Savant's "Brainpower", 13 Aug 2005
By A Customer
I actually found this book quite a disappointment. Marilyn gives some misleading advice on how to increase your wordpower. She advises not looking up every new word, but instead trying to figure it out from the context and carry on reading. As a tutor I know this advice to be plain wrong. It is easy to think you know what a word means, when if you consult a good dictionary you may be very surprised at what it actually means. Guessing at words and leaving behind words not understood is an instant recipe for stupidity. I'm frankly surprised that someone with a supposedly high IQ would give this advice - especially in a book that is supposed to coach a person towards higher intelligence.

Her advice about choosing a dictionary is also wrong. She advises the reader to invest in the largest dictionary that they can afford, "because it will have more words in it"! So a person learning English as a foreign language, or a person who didn't finish their secondary education is supposed to go and splash out on the full, 10-volume Oxford English Dictionary, then? Many words contained in huge dictionaries are too big or too rare to be useful to even PhD students! You would be better off looking for a dictionary that is the right level for your standard of English, whatever that may be.
