8 Tips to Improve Brain Function

In his book Mozart's Brain and the Fighter Pilot: Unleashing Your Brain's Potential, Dr. Richard Restak takes us on a journey of our brain, and along the way, he share with us 28 tips to keep our minds alert. Over the next eight business days or so, we'll extract 8 small tips from the book and try and put them to use. Can any of us say with certainty that our minds don't need some improving?

If you enjoy this series, you will enjoy the book. I recommend it, but with a caveat. The book seems far more anecdotal than research based. At times it can get bogged down in "brain talk". Still, overall, it's a fun read with practical advice.
