Congratulations Martha!! I will be sending out an email in just a few minutes. All you have to do is reply within 48 hours with your full name and address and I will forward the info to the publisher who will be sending you the book Maximum Brain Power directly.




Challenging The Brain For Health And Wisdom


This book challenges some of the old adages of how people learn and how the brain functions. This is done in a scientific but understandable format. At the end of each chapter is a short re-cap of the salient points in case you get overwhelmed-I know that I will have to re read this book a couple of times to truly understand all it has to offer me. As a senior I am somewhat worried about those senior moments and the possibility of Alzheimers. Although there is no cure, Maximum Brainpower gives the framework for keeping your mental capacity as long as you possibly can.

“Did you know that?

Mental Stress can have more devastating impact on us then physical stress
Experts are often less mentally agile then jack-of-all-traders
Hope, all by itself, is a major healing agent
Mental exercises such as crossword puzzles and Sudoku are of marginal help in building
Brainpower
A false alarm conditions us to ignore future alarms
Multitasking is a formula for the failure to learn, for it works against the basic biology of the
Brain”
