Friday Book Report: Keep Your Brain Alive


Lawrence C. Katz, Ph.D. and Manning Rubin wrote Keep Your Brain Alive to help prevent memory loss and increase brain function.  They coin the (horrible) word neurobics for their brain training exercises.  The exercises themselves are fairly interesting and could be useful.  The brain likes novelty and thrives on tasks that involve multiple senses.  Doing things like brushing one’s teeth with the nondominant hand or navigating the shower process with our eyes closed to wake up other senses have good results for our brains.


The take away is:  do something different and focus on more than just the visual and you will stay smarter longer.
