Book News Annotation:

Your computer purrs like a kitten. Your cell phone's screen is pristine. But your mind is a mess, and if your PDA went under a bus, you would have to crawl into a cave. Technical writer Hale-Evans offers 75 stand-alone "hacks" (nifty tricks) on memory (including the Dominic system), information processing (build an exoself, map your mind), creativity (play mind music), math (mental checksums), decision making (predict the length of a lifetime), communication (ask stupid questions) clarity (hypnotize yourself) and mental fitness (Go ahead! Play those video games!). Hale-Evans gives directions and exercise ideas, along with applications for the real world and end notes that also serve as lists of further reading.
