Boost Your Brainpower [antikvár]

Introduction "So you want a brilliant mind," I said with a twinkle in my eye to an inquiring seven-year-old. "Well, I can tell you how to develop one." She followed my advice, and she recently completed college with a 4.0 GPA, scored among the erudite on the MCAT, and will soon enter medical school. Whether you are five or ninety-five, you can develop a more brilliant mind. Whether your IQ is 85 or 165, brilliance can be increased. Whether you are a child, a housewife, a blue-collar worker, or a business executive, brilliance is yours for the taking through the exercises contained in this book. The following pages will give you concrete tools to move in that direction. As surely as we can develop muscle cells with physical exercises, we can develop brain cells and connections with mental exercises. Only 3,500 words separate the culturally literate from others. What words could you learn from religion, English, literature, art, music, math, physics, biology, and neurology that might elude many other people? The word lists in this book (containing over four thousand words and phrases) will help you close that cultural literacy gap and increase your mental power.
