Sharp Brains: Brain Fitness and Cognitive Health News

Praise for the Book

Book Review

“…we’re talking a short, sweet, entertaining read of a complex topic, with timely reviews of 21 top technology products, as well as informed and expert predictions of where this burgeoning brain-fitness field is headed. More importantly, after you read it, you’ll have a good, detailed sense of where you, personally, can act to improve your own couch-potato brain – and how to keep it fit and flexible your whole life. The SharpBrains Guide To Brain Fitness reminds of us all why books (and not just googling a topic) can be well worth your time and money. Two Stethoscopes Up – check it out.”
Doc Gurley, Internist Physician and Robert Wood Johnson Fellow. Book review for San Francisco Chronicle online (06/08/09), Is Your Brain A Couch Potato?
