Mind Performance Hacks, by Ron Hale-Evans is a book containing many techniques to improve your mind.
The book is divided into several sections:
– Memory – includes many different ways to memorize things like lists, numbers, overcoming tip-of-the-tongue effect.
– Information Processing: learning to catch your ideas, writing faster, optimizing your learning, mind maps.
– Creativity: forcing connections, finding ideas, anologies,
– Math: several little hacks for calculations, and also for calculating weekdays.
– Decision Making
– Communication
– Clarity: avoiding cognitive distortions, breathing, meditating.
– Mental fitness: warm-ups, games, sleep, overclocking.
Overall, I really like it, but it is interesting to note that many of the hacks require practice. And also, this book really deserves making notes and re-reading chapters that you found interesting.
Recommended.
