Great Kirkus Review of The SharpBrains Guide to Brain Fitness

May 22, 2013 by Alvaro Fernandez

Kirkus-ReviewsWe are proud to share that Kirkus Reviews, one of the most cred­i­ble inde­pen­dent review­ers of new books, just pub­lished a very good review of The Sharp­Brains Guide to Brain Fit­ness: How to Opti­mize Brain Health and Per­for­mance at Any Age (April 2013; 284 pages).

Kirkus Review

“Your brain is your most pre­cious asset, and it is wise to invest in it,” the authors write. Using charts, draw­ings, and up-to-date sci­en­tif­ic stud­ies, they present the case that any brain, at any age, can change for the better…The brain…is high­ly dynam­ic and con­stant­ly reor­ga­niz­ing, and it can be shaped and reshaped across a per­son­’s entire lifes­pan. The authors sug­gest myr­i­ad activ­i­ties to help the process along…

A stim­u­lat­ing, chal­leng­ing resource, full of sol­id infor­ma­tion and prac­ti­cal tips for improv­ing brain health.” ‑Kirkus Review (Full review Here)
