Building Mental Muscle: Conditioning Exercises for the Six Intelligence ZonesThis book explains recent scientific discoveries and provides findings such as how women's and men's brains process information differently, ways to learn faster and trick the brain into storing information permanently, and how to change one's mood without drugs or therapy. Building Mental Muscle introduces mind exercises to develop skills in the six zones of real-world problem solving -- executive and social, memory, language, emotional response, computation skills, and creative spatial visualization. Seventy-six puzzles, games, and self-tests allow the reader to apply the theories and exercise the brain as if it were a bicep. |
