I've tried several brain age-lowering books and products and think this one is the best. It has a wide variety of puzzles, so you don't find yourself doing Sudoku the whole time. Some of the verbal puzzles are unusual and really fun. The brain games are arranged in order from easiest to hardest, so you can gradually ease yourself into them, your mind growing progressively younger as you make your way through the book. The spiral binding allows the book to lay flat, which is always a plus.

This is a good book, but it fails to give any help if you might need an explanation as to how they arrived at the answer. So, you either know the stuff, and are just refreshing your brain, or else you never learned it and cannot do so now! It did get me looking up some things on the internet so I could reason it all out. lol
