Mind Performance Hacks: Tips & Tools for Overclocking Your Brain (Hacks)by Ron Hale Evans
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:You're smart. This book can make you smarter.
Mind Performance Hacks provides real-life tips and tools for overclocking your brain and becoming a better thinker. In the increasingly frenetic pace of today's information economy, managing your life requires hacking your brain. With this book, you'll cut through the clutter and tune up your brain intentionally, safely, and productively.
Grounded in current research and theory, but offering practical solutions you can apply immediately, Mind Performance Hacks is filled with life hacks that teach you to:
* Use mnemonic tricks to remember numbers, names, dates, and other flotsam you need to recall
* Put down your calculator and perform complex math in your head, with your fingers, or on the back of a napkin
* Spark your creativity with innovative brainstorming methods
* Use effective systems to capture new ideas before they get away
* Communicate in creative new ways-even using artificial languages
* Make better decisions by foreseeing problems and finding surprising solutions
* Improve your mental fitness with cool tricks and games
While the hugely successful Mind Hacks showed you how your brain works, Mind Performance Hacks shows you how to make it work better. 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.
