Have you ever "stuck" in the middle of a sentence because your mind wandered off somewhere? And to stand thoughtfully in the middle of the room, wondering why you entered it? Or forget the phone number, which, it seemed, could be called even in a dream? These "memory lapses" can happen at any age and at any time - they simply mean that your brain needs exercise, and they will not interfere with memory.The book of the famous "puzzle guru" Charles Phillips contains Almost 100 puzzles and intellectual tasks that will help develop the brain, exercise memory and improve the mechanism of recall. The structure of the book allows, as with any training, to go from simple to complex. In the first part you will find tasks for "warm-up". The second presents advanced "simulators" for the intellect. Part three is the real Steeplechase. The tasks are complemented by "Gymnastics for a smart brain" - practical tips and tasks for the development and expansion of memory, as well as fascinating "Facts from the life of a smart brain".
