Mindhacker: 60 Tips, Tricks, and Games to Take Your Mind to the Next Level

If you go through all of the hacks, you’ll do lots of things in order to stretch that no doubt already capacious geeky head of yours. You can pretend to be a grad student (which, at the book’s price of around $25, is much, much cheaper than the real thing), learn how to speed-read, build your own personal canon of “great books,” boost your creatvity and productivity, find lost objects show more easily, and even improve your memory by playing “Doom.” If that’s not enough, you can even learn to enter the Fourth Dimension. show less

Sure, each hack is detailed, but never boring. As I went through it, I couldn't help but notice the emphasis on looking at old things in new ways and engaging in exercises whenever possible. Those of you who have Mind Performance Hacks might remember the occasional use of download computer programs to help in the exercises, which also happens here. There is a great sense of fun in each hack, show more but it never overpowers the original purpose, so as not to lose sight of a given hack's goal. show less

...this book seems like one I will return to again and again... Mindhacker may be my best hope yet in fighting off senility.
