Book Reviews of Mind Performance Hacks: Tips & Tools for Overclocking Your Brain
Book Review: A great collection of "hacks" to improve yourself.
Summary: 5 Stars
Simple as that. Check out the table of contents to see the wide variety of hacks presented in the book. Just one of the groups of hacks (number-processing) was worth the purchase price alone. I read one comment that noted the hacks were complicated and therefore were not really "hacks", as if they were supposed to just breeze right through the book in one night and jump the 'ol IQ 500 points; not gonna happen. The book is densely packed with information that's gonna require thought, some planning, and time. Some of the hacks are simple (play mind music)and some will require occasional revisiting (calculating mental checksums)in order for you to use them efficiently. If you do one a day; by the end of the year, you'll have some handy techniques for navigating this crazy world.
