Are You Ready To Jump Start Your Brain Training??

Jump Start Your Brain Training Now!!!
Some popular brain game programs are entertaining to be sure, but not a truly demanding workout like what is necessary to see real changes. It's sort of like playing ping-pong, its fun and engaging but not very demanding as an exercise. 

You certainly develop some skills like eye-hand coordination, but really you only get better at ping-pong and those skills just aren't as useful in other aspects of your life.Just like basic strength, endurance and fitness training can benefit you in almost any physical endeavor (including ping pong), So can brain training that improves memory/recall, concentration, processing speed and sequencing/shifting(decision making).

 These exercises may be less entertaining, but much more important to the overall goal of brain fitness. This is very much like the process for physical training, you gauge the effectiveness of your workout by how much you can now lift, or how far you can run, or throw a ball, etc... Professional and amateur athletes will never tell you they got where they are by luck or giftedness. 

The fact is they all train very hard to improve their "talents", and the beauty part is, anyone can improve, physically and mentally, directly related to the investment in effort given to exercise.

Learn How Your Brain Works? Slow Thinking VS Fast Thinking

I came across this video the other day and couldn't resist sharing it. In under 5 minutes, the video gives you a fun, energetic, and engaging overview of the brain’s two thinking systems: the fast, or instinctual system, and the slow, or purposeful system. 

Learn how these two kinds of thinking systems work together and separately to help you navigate the world- and how they can trick you from time to time.

This video is a summary of a book by Daniel Kahneman called Thinking Fast and Slow, which you can find at  Flipkart.
