Brain Power: The 12-week Mental Training Programme

The power and capacity of the brain and intelligence can be exercised and strengthened like any muscle in the body. This book contains a 12-week programme of practical exercises which have been devised to stretch the mind, with the aim of improving the quality of life, career success and personal achievement. The authors' objective is to increase the reader's vocabulary, build a logical mind, strengthen the attention span and senses and widen the perspective. They believe that possession of a mathematical mind does not depend on a knowledge of mathematics, that brainpower can be improved without academic qualifications and that determination is all that is required.
