A leading neuroscientist and New York Times-bestselling
author of Mozart's Brain and the Fighter Pilot distills the
research on the brain and serves up practical, surprising,
and illuminating recommendations for warding off
neurological decline, cognitive function, and encouraging
smarter thinking day to day. In Think Smart, the renowned neuropsychiatrist and
bestselling author Dr. Richard Restak details how each of
us can improve and tone our body’s most powerful organ: the
brain. As a renowned expert on the brain, Restak knows that in the
last five years there have been exciting new scientific
discoveries about the brain and its performance. So he’s
asked his colleagues—many of them the world’s leading brain
scientists and researchers—one important question: What can
I do to help my brain work more efficiently? Their
surprising—and remarkably feasible—answers are at the heart
of Think Smart. Restak combines advice culled from cutting-edge research
with brain-tuning exercises to show how individuals of any
age can make their brain work more effectively. In the same
accessible prose that made Mozart’s Brain and the Fighter
Pilot a New York Times bestseller, Restak presents a wide
array of practical recommendations about a variety of
topics, including the crucial role sleep plays in boosting
creativity, the importance of honing sensory memory, and
the neuron- firing benefits of certain foods. In Think Smart, the “wise, witty, and ethical Restak” (says
the Smithsonian Institution) offers readers helpful
suggestions for fighting neurological decline that will put
every reader on the path to building a healthier, more
limber brain.
