Here's the surefire way to boost readers' brain power, and recharge their most important resource. Features a complete regimen for improving intelligence, problem-solving skills, and more. Exercises and quizzes help improve sensory perception, enhance coordination and motor skills, expand the capacity to learn, and stimulate creative thinking. Also features important information on food and supplements that can strengthen and reduce brain power, and discusses the relationship between stress and the brain. |
