Avoid Alzheimer's With A Fit Brain

BRAIN FITNESS is a burgeoning research field. It’s of great interest to people who would like to avoid Alzheimer’s by keeping their brains in top condition, but many younger people are also interested in the possibilities. If you like to keep up with the latest research, SHARP BRAINS has an excellent blog, and as you read the blog you’ll see the broad area that the term brain fitness now takes in. The blog recently featured the “Top 10 Brain Fitness And Cognitive Health Books.” These books contain fascinating material on new ways to apply the latest brain research.

One, an unusual weight control book, suggests that you can “Train Your Brain To Think Like A Thin Person.” Another trumpets, “How A New Science Reveals Our Extraordinary Potential To Transform Ourselves.” And a third, with an odd sounding but interesting concept, tells us “How The New Science Of Gratitude Can Make You Happier.”

Sharp Brains’ Most Important Book of 2008

It’s Dr. Torkel Klingberg’s “The Overflowing Brain: Information Overload And The Limits Of Working Memory.” The book deals with the constant distractions of modern life, multitasking, and the magnificent overload of material now available online. (Which online overload I and many others are trying to trim by finding the best material on selected subjects.)

You'll find here a nice summary by Dr. Klingberg himself.
