The Amazing Memory. Secrets, Mysteries, Facts. A Guide to Improving Brain Function

We have long stopped memorizing phone numbers, birthdays, and even important work information. After all, we have a smartphone and computer at hand that "remember everything." A modern person rarely exercises their memory, and as a result, it stops functioning,... and along with memory, other cognitive functions of the brain suffer. The author of this book — Richard Restak — is a well-known neuropsychologist and the author of more than twenty books on the human brain. He wrote this book when he was almost 80 years old, and he can be trusted when it comes to memory development, maintaining a clear mind, and staying active into old age. Richard Restak knows that memory decline is not related to age but is a consequence of ten "sins" of modern individuals. However, exercises, proper sleep, and diet can restore memory and make it excellent at any age. This is one of the most comprehensive books on memory. You will learn how memory works and how memories are formed, how the mind, body, and emotions are connected, how to manage memory, and what techniques help preserve cognitive functions into old age. Richard Restak provides numerous tips and exercises that can influence brain function and easily fit into everyday life. He recommends these exercises not only for the elderly but also for the youth since it is the young who rely more on technology and increasingly strain their memory less and less.
