Editorial Review:

You're smart. This book can make you smarter.

"Mind Performance Hacks" provides real-life tips and tools for overclocking your brain and becoming a better thinker. In the increasingly frenetic pace of today's information economy, managing your life requires hacking your brain. With this book, you'll cut through the clutter and tune up your brain intentionally, safely, and productively.

Grounded in current research and theory, but offering practical solutions you can apply immediately, Mind Performance Hacks is filled with life hacks that teach you to:

Improve your mental fitness with cool tricks and games

While the hugely successful "Mind Hacks" showed you how your brain works, "Mind Performance Hacks" shows you how to make it work better.
