Customer Reviews

Practical and entertaining
A superb book that combines fascinating insights into the brain with useful excercises to improve your own functioning. As Dr Restak is an acclaimed neurologist all of his tips are well grounded in research and therefore effective.
The book began with a basic disscussion of brain structure and functioning. The remaining chapters being devoted to different aspects of brain performance, memory, attention, creativity, emotions and more are covered. Restak created an entertaining blend of facts, examples and excerices that kept me enaged throughout.
Having read a large number of books on this subject, I have yet to find another title that is as well written as this. If you only buy one book on improving your mind then make it this one.
