Book Reviews of Memory Fitness: A Guide for Successful Aging
Book Review: GOOD NEWS for Seniors !
Summary: 5 Stars
Professors Einstein and McDaniel, in their easy-to-read guide to "memory fitness," debunk the myth that growing old means that one's memory is certain to decline significantly.
The book guides readers through understandable explanations of how our memories work, and the changes to expect. Best, strategies are offered to improve our memories, with emphasis on mental activity as well as physical exercise.
Most practical and satisfying are the many graphic demonstrations throughout the chapters which allow the reader to understand how his or her own memory is working.
Older adults should own this book, even if nothing else is learned, just to review the "cues" which one can use to serve as reminders to remember something. Younger adults need this book to complete a comprehensive approach to general fitness.
Though I have owned a computer for 22 years, I thought, at 76, that my brain's "hard drive" was too full to tackle much more data. Einstein and McDaniel's book has convinced me that there is room for much, much more. So, this year I've learned 130 new square dance steps.
MEMORY FITNESS: A GUIDE FOR SUCCESSFUL AGING will help you too.
