    Synopsis

    You're smart. This book can make you smarter. Mind Performance Hacks provides real-life tips and tools for overclocking your brain and becoming a better thinker. In the increasingly frenetic pace of today's information economy, managing your life requires hacking your brain. With this book, you'll cut through the clutter and tune up your brain intentionally, safely, and productively. Grounded in current research and theory, but offering practical solutions you can apply immediately, Mind Performance Hacks is filled with life hacks that teach you to:

    • Use mnemonic tricks to remember numbers, names, dates, and other flotsam you need to recall
    • Put down your calculator and perform complex math in your head, with your fingers, or on the back of a napkin
    • Spark your creativity with innovative brainstorming methods
    • Use effective systems to capture new ideas before they get away
    • Communicate in creative new ways-even using artificial languages
    • Make better decisions by foreseeing problems and finding surprising solutions
    • Improve your mental fitness with cool tricks and games
    While the hugely successful Mind Hacks showed you how your brain works, Mind Performance Hacks shows you how to make it work better.

    December 12, 2009: This book takes some well known techniques and presents them in new and interesting ways...it also presents less well known techniques and some of the author's own - again in compelling and interesting ways.

    If you like learning a mew technique quickly without someone trying to make an entire book from one idea then this is for you. Its fast pasced and packed with good ideas.

    September 23, 2006: So buy this book and make the most use of it! Just think of this book as kind of martial arts program for your brain. Each chapter (and there's 22 in all) stands out on its own and discusses a particular area you can improve on, such as memory, creativity, math, communication, and so on. It's an easy read and since each chapter stands out by itself, you can jump around and go to the areas that interest you the most. A great book with a lot of clever and PRACTICAL ideas, I give it 5 stars easy.
