Keep Your Brain Alive: 83 Neurobic ExercisesBy Lawrence Katz, Ph.D., and Manning Rubin

Aerobic exercises keep your heart and cardiovascular system in shape, and this small paperback suggests 83 "neurobic" ways to keep your brain in shape.

Based on the latest research on brain function and learning (as of the publish date of 1999), the book provides a brief description of how the brain works in the opening chapter then gets down to the 83 exercises.

The exercises are categorized based on certain life situations, there are chapters on:

• Starting and Ending the Day
• Commuting
• At Work
• At the Market
• At Mealtimes
• At Leisure

Some of the exercises are pretty straightforward, others a bit surprising. I find myself doing some of the exercises long after reading about them - because they're easy to remember.

I don't think I'll ever do each exercise, rather I consider the book like a smorgasbord of ideas to try when I think about it.

This is a fun, little book that delivers on its goal and helps you learn about our beautifully amazing brains at the same time. If the book captivates you, it might be a nice companion to your daily learning journal - perhaps you could consciously do one exercise per day and record the lessons and experiences you have.

After all, a big part of our potential is the potential resting between our ears. This book will help you exercise that potential for your benefit in a fun, and relatively easy, way!
