Reviews for Keep Your Brain Alive

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Interesting exercises aimed (primarily) at 40 people who feel as if their losing their 'edge' mentally. As someone perpetually worried about Alzheimer's and dementia (after witnessing it first hand growing up with my great grandma) and with my 13 concussions, I am always looking out for things like this - books to help cognitively, (as well as looking out for my own symptoms of failing mental issues); I sadly found this book lacking a fair bit. It's basically aimed at your senses (taste, touch, smell, hearing, etc.) and making you do things differently to 'rewire' or at least make your brain 'work harder' at simple tasks. Ie. brushing your teeth with your non-dominant hand. Eating with your eyes closed, etc.
Not quite sure how 100% effective these are, and looking to try some of these, but some are rather impractical for most people, and a lot of this is aimed at the middle-aged white male. But I think it's definitely a good start to get people to think about their own mental health and to start warding off failures in cognitive ability.
