Amazing memory. Mysteries, secrets, facts. A guide to improving brain function.

We have long stopped memorizing phone numbers, birth dates, and even important work information. After all, we have smartphones and computers at our fingertips that "remember everything." Modern people rarely strain their memory, and as a result, it stops working, affecting other cognitive brain functions. The author of this book, Richard Restak, is a well-known neuropsychologist and the author of more than twenty books on the human brain. He wrote this book when he was almost 80 years old, and he can be trusted when it comes to memory development, maintaining a clear mind, and staying active into old age. Richard Restak knows that memory decline is not related to age but is a result of ten "sins" of modern man. However, exercises, proper sleep, and diet can restore memory and make it excellent at any age. This is one of the most comprehensive books on memory. You will learn how memory works and memories are formed, how the mind, body, and emotions are connected, how to manage memory, and what techniques help preserve cognitive functions into old age. Richard Restak provides many tips and exercises that can impact brain function and easily fit into everyday life. He advises not only the elderly to do these exercises but also young people, as it is the younger generation that relies more on technology and strains their memory less and less.
