Have you ever gotten stuck in the middle of a sentence because your thoughts wandered off into nowhere? How about standing thoughtfully in the middle of the room, wondering why you entered it? Or forget a phone number that, it seemed, could be called even in a dream? These "memory lapses" can happen at any age and at any time - they simply mean that your brain needs exercise, and they won't interfere with your memory. The book by the famous "puzzle guru" Charles Phillips contains almost 100 puzzles and intellectual tasks, which will help develop the brain, exercise memory and improve the recall mechanism. The structure of the book allows, as with any training, to go from simple to complex. In the first part you will find tasks for “warm-up”. The second presents advanced “trainers” for intelligence. Part three is the real “Obstacle course”. The tasks are supplemented with “Gymnastics for the Smart Brain” - practical tips and tasks for developing and expanding memory capacity, as well as fascinating “Facts from the life of the smart brain.”
