Book Reviews of Train Your Brain: 60 Days to a Better Brain
Book Review: Do Not Buy This Book - Use kids homework instead.
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this book because I read somewhere that author (Dr. Ryuta Kawashima) was heading research studies that showed that your brain functions degrade slower if you ride a motorcycle daily. "Now this guy is on to something" I thought to myself.
So I bought his book but I must say - Do not buy this book. You are better off doing the math problems in your 3rd graders math homework because that is basically what this "book" is... its pages and pages of 3rd grade level math problems (single digit addition, subtraction, multiplication and division e.g. 6x3 or 9-4).
Page 4 of the book is the 'Table of Contents'. Pages 5 to 11 are some short descriptions, mostly involving the differences between left brain-right brain stuff, kinda interseting, but very little content. THEN PAGES 12 to 156 ARE ALL MATH PROBLEMS, the end! Exactly the kind of math sheets you had in your elementary school Math workbook. Apparently your supposed to do one of these worksheets every few days, booooring.
While the math problems may "Train Your Brain" this book is very slim on content.
Summary of Train Your Brain: 60 Days to a Better Brain
This innovative brain health workbook has sold over 2.5 million copies globally!Dr. Kawashima, a prominent neurologist in Japan, developed this program of daily simple math calculations that can help boost your brain power, improve your memory, and stave off the mental effects of aging. The exercises in this book have even been shown to help those suffering from Alzheimer?s.
The idea, Dr. Kawashima says, is to "work out the brain much like we work out the rest of our bodies. It has long been known that regular exercise helps slow the deterioration of our muscles, and the same is true for our brains."
