Make Your Brain Smarter: Increase Your Brain's Creativity, Energy, and Focus

By Sandra Bond Chapman In this book, Chapman reviews recent research in brain studies and techniques to keep brains in peak condition.

"Chapman (Behavioral and Brain Sciences/Univ. of Texas, Dallas) founded and directs the Center for BrainHealth. Distilling a vast amount of research, the author reinforces some conventional wisdom while poking holes in other ideas about brain function. Intelligence, long thought to be innate, is becoming recognized as a more complex function of various environmental and genetic influences, not least of which is the approach we take to teaching and learning. Society's tendency toward adding more stimuli to every activity, from listening to music while doing homework, to the office with a TV always tuned to 24-hour news, is wearing away at our brain function. The book may stretch readers’ minds to incorporate the ideas in new forms, no doubt boosting brainpower--a decent cross section of research and practical ideas about exercising and maintaining brain function."
