5.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating Ways to Improve Your Brain July 27, 2012

By Lindy S

Format:Paperback

This is a very different Chicken Soup for the Soul book. It still contains delightful personal stories but sandwiched in between those stories are the scientific reasons that explain why a particular exercise actually sharpens the brain! This is a good gift book especially for college students and retirees or for anyone who would like to improve their logical thinking or creativity skills. The practical advise alone is worth the cost of the book, but with the personal stories adding the inspiration to follow through on the advise, it is a double value book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Short but Inspirational October 9, 2012

By Cherise Kachelmuss TOP 1000 REVIEWERVINE™ VOICE

Format:Paperback

This is different than the traditional Chicken Soup books as it half the size and the content is different. Yes it contains the traditional stories from readers but it also includes medical advice from Dr. Marie Pasinski of Harvard Medical School. The stories are short and inspirational perfect to read one here or there. In my early thirties I feel like I am already forgetting things both short-term and long-term. This book was inspirational to me in the sense that I don't feel alone and I now have some great tips to improve my memory. So the tips may or may not work for me, but they won't harm me and I may even have some fun doing them. Dancing to improve memory loss, who knew!?

5.0 out of 5 stars Bump up your Brain October 5, 2012

By Lynette355

Format:Paperback

If I am really looking to help myself then I can also work on my brain power. You know with age you do not only have to think of the physical pitfalls but of the mental ones too. With me also battling mental illness I am sure that if I improve my brain I will help with my depression. Chicken Soup for the Soul (what a wonderful group) shares Boost Your Brain Power with us. Now I know there are ways to improve your memory but did you know you can also wake up your brain to help shape your thoughts and emotions. I try to do that myself every day. Looking at the half full glass or better yet the birds singing outside attitude does help me. And remember the old adage of use it or lose it. Well it is true. We have to work out brains out as well as our muscles.
