    Geoffrey L. Lefavi

    I was a successful computer consultant working with multinational companies. The human mind only fascinated me in its relationship of how computers can be made to work like humans (neural networks).I started working with the human mind full-time and on computers part-time. I studied neuroscience research extensively.My new task in life is to break down the different parts of the mind and help people find solutions to their problems.This book is just one of a series of books on helping the human condition via the human mind. I hope you will find this book and the books that follow to be helpful in your life.Jeff has also written, “Wise123 Brain Exercise” and “10 Steps to a Better Brain”.

      9 Steps to a Better Brain - Geoffrey L. Lefavi

      Chapter 1

      Step 1.

      Major Changes

      Major Changes in the Way You Think

      Allen: What are you doing?

      Jake: Saluting Major Change.

      __________________________________

      Being set in your ways is bad; experiencing new things are good. Doing the same things every day does not challenge your brain. Doing something new keeps your brain sharp.

      How to challenge your Brain?

      Sign up for an adult education course(s). Learn a foreign language, learn to play a musical instrument, or to sky or scuba dive.

      Hike through the woods. Learn to identify all of the flora and fauna or all the species of birds, squirrels, monkeys, lions, tigers and bears – oh my.

      Travel to exotic places – where you do not know the language or customs. All the new stimuli will stimulate your brain and you will learn something about the world.

      Learn to play chess. Play often and learn how tactics affect the play of the game. If you already play chess, find a different competition game to play.

      You can use art to keep your mind sharp. Art therapy has been used for some time, where patients with mental injuries have been taught to paint. This helps stimulate different parts of the brain, thus helping them (the patents) to use more of their brain.

      You do not have to learn how to paint or sculpt, thought doing so could help you keep sharp. If you are not interested in creating art; learn to appreciate art.

      If there is an art museum in your area, visit it. Take a guided tour; the information the tour guide has can give you the ability to appreciate art in a different manner, therefore using your brain in a new way.

      All of these suggestions are not valid if you already do them. If you are already a chess master, playing chess does not give you the same benefits. The activity has to be new to you.

      These are just examples of a few of the New Things that you can bring into your life to keep your mind sharp. Get out there and try something new!

      Conclusion

      Color outside the lines to add color in your life and keep your brain sharp.

      Step 2.

      Math is your Friend

      If you were really my friend, you’d buy me lunch.

      ___________________________________

      If you use a calculator to balance your checkbook, stop. Try balancing your checkbook first by hand, and then check your work with a calculator. Hopefully, in a few weeks you can forget the calculator all together.

      Make it a goal to stop using a calculator at all.

      When buying something try calculating the sales tax in your head. If your total sales amount is correct, give yourself a treat (get a massage, see a movie – but avoid sweets as a treat). If not, donate to charity (feeling good about yourself is important also).

      If you use a calculator to figure a tip, shame on you. You have to decide between giving 15% or 20%, and then do the math in your head. Why not for both percentages? The more you do it the easier it becomes (and the smarter you will be).

      It does not matter if you could never do math in your head before now, just start try and eventually you will be able to do it.

      If you never learned Algebra in school or did poorly in the class, learn Algebra. Find a book on it or take a class. This will greatly affect how you think while improving your mind’s capabilities.

      If you already know Algebra, learn to program a computer. Algebra is a key component in programming a computer, so use your knowledge to expand your knowledge. Or learn Calculus. Take a class on it, then another and another (there are a lot of classes on Calculus).

      Calculus is the branch of mathematics that is concerned with limits and with the differentiation and integration of functions. Basically, Calculus is the study of change and infinity. This is not an easy subject to learn, but that is the point; not to do only things that are easy, but expand also to your mind.

      Using your mind to do math in your daily life will greatly improve your brain. It does not have to be Calculus; it can be just adding two number together in your
