(Sorry about spelling etc,.. I'm from norway. Age 44. Male. BsC.)br /br /This book was a interesting surprise to mee. I thought I was going to read about psychology (I was right there), and that maybe it could give me a clue to improve my poor memory (It did).br /br /But what's realy stuck in me after reading this bokk (I skipped all the exercises), is the relation between stress and deseases like alzheimers.br /br /If you want to have many years of good living ahead, the first half of this book is realy worth while.br /br /Other parts (second half) are just stating what humanity knows this far about how hearing and vision works, and could be of interest to someone who have not read any pshychology before, but the fact is, we still don't know how our brain works, so not practically usefull for living a better life, like the first half was.br /br /I hope this was a alternative view to some of the other reviews :-)

Entertaining and educational May 17, 2007
This a really user-friendly guide to increasing your brain power. I suppose some might prefer something a little more scientifically in depth, but this is an easy read with lots of fun, challenging games. Try this for the kids: Power Brain Kids

Medical professionals and also anyone interested in the brain/intelligence will certainly benefit from this book. For the beginner, it is an invaluable starting point to a lifestyle, if one so chooses to undertake it, of "neuro-fitness". It is also just an interesting book to read, with medical terms that may get heavy, but are explained in full for the laymen. For the professional, it is an interesting layout of research and ideas which may apply to better yourself, your children, or maybe even your patients, if that applies to your field. br /I am not saying it is the best book of all time, but it is worth the money and a weekend to read and digest it.

Building Mental Muscle: Conditioning Exercises by Gamon et. April 17, 2005
6 out of 7 found this review helpful

This is one of the few books on the market which aims tobr /sharpen intellectual skills. The author gives the reader anbr /important portal into how people learn and retain information.br /For instance, the authors teach us how to learn by excludingbr /all other information from consideration while in deep concentration. Protein synthesis occurs with long term learningbr /wherein events may be emotionally charged in order to retainbr /them permanently. The conscious recognition of facts is differentbr /from the unconscious recognition of facts. Memory may sharpenbr /with practice and by association with key words/phrases orbr /attributes. For instance, associate Mr. Green's green shirtbr /with Mr. Green. Sometimes name recollection can have associativebr /aspects. The work even has religious sayings.br /For instance, Proverbs 17:22 states that " A cheerful headbr /is good medicine. "br /br /This book won't make you smarter; however, it will assist inbr /utilizing your intelligence in a more organized/rational manner.br /The author's presentation can benefit by organizing studybr /sessions rationally so that material can be recalled by a simplebr /collection of associations.

With the reviewer from April 6, 2004.br /br /This is exactly what this book is. A sort of guide to how the brain works, with some "exercises" thoughtlessly thrown in when the authors remembered that it's supossed to be a book on "Building Mental Muscle."br /br /I, too, am surprised at all the 5-star reviews. I wouldn't throw the book away, though; I'd say you can glean some pretty interesting information from it.br /
