This review is from: Brainpower Game Plan: Sharpen Your Memory, Improve Your Concentration, and Age-Proof Your Mind in Just 4 Weeks (Paperback)
I've shared this book with three generations, and each felt it spoke directly to them and their stage of "memory fog." In this era of digital overload, who doesn't feel their memory is overtaxed? For me, this book was a godsend. It's helped to redirect my nervousness about forgetting passwords, phone numbers, names, and where my car is parked -- into practical exercises and strategies. Accessible, easy to use and downright fun, I love this book. The recipes alone made me feel better. I guess there's hope for mid-lifers like me!

It's true what they say, the memory is the first to go -- and as much as we hate to admit it, some of us find our memories in rapid-fire fail mode. Dr. Green has created a program that will not only put you on the road to cognitive sharpness, but it's darn entertaining too. I find the exercises engaging and fun to complete. The book further helps by providing you with nutritional information, tasty meal plans (complete with well laid out grocery lists), and physical exercises all geared towards strengthening your mind. As an added bonus, the book was co-written by the editors of Prevention, one of the trusted leaders in health publications. That made the decision to follow the Brainpower Game Plan a no-brainer for me.
