Kindle edition of The SharpBrains Guide to Brain Fitness: Free until this Friday

In honor of everyone with a brain and an ebook reader, we are making the Kindle edition of The SharpBrains Guide to Brain Fitness free to download until this Friday. You will notice that a few sections require updating (we're working on a second edition) but the book has aged pretty well since 2009. Description: Named a Best Book by AARP, The SharpBrains Guide to Brain Fitness is an invaluable guide that helps readers navigate growing brain research and identify the lifestyle factors and products that contribute to brain fitness. By gathering eighteen of the top scientists and offering insight, tools, and analysis of over twenty products, this text is an essential guide to the field of neuroplasticity and cognitive health. An accessible and thought-provoking read, this book also engages readers on emerging trends and forecasts of what the future will hold. While most of us have heard the phrase "use it or lose it," very few understand what "it" means, or how to properly "use it" in order to maintain brain function and fitness. The SharpBrains Guide to Brain Fitness is designed to fill this gap.
