“Your brain is your most pre­cious asset, and it is wise to invest in it,” the authors write.

“Rec­og­nized by AARP as one of the best and most com­pre­hen­sive source of infor­ma­tion, this book man­ages to remain open mind­ed yet ade­quate­ly crit­i­cal at the same–a good mod­el for all sharp minds to fol­low and ben­e­fit from.” —Dr. Peter White­house, Pro­fes­sor of Neu­rol­o­gy at Case West­ern Reserve University

“This book pro­vides a very valu­able ser­vice to a wide com­mu­nity inter­ested in learn­ing and brain top­ics.“ —Michael Pos­ner, Emer­i­tus Pro­fes­sor of Neu­ro­science at the Uni­ver­sity of Oregon

“Final­ly, an insight­ful and com­plete overview of the sci­ence, prod­ucts and trends to debunk old myths and help us all main­tain our brains in top shape. A must-read“ —Glo­ria Cavanaugh, for­mer Pres­i­dent of the Amer­i­can Soci­ety on Aging
