review 1: Not a lot of new information on a topic that I have read up on in the past. The relative importance of exercise seems to have been increased. There was a less of the 25 best ORAC (oxygen radical absorbance capacity)foods - the so-called brain foods. If you want the list, email me at [email protected]. The book was a gift from my investment counselor so perhaps I should pay a little more attention to the topic (especially the part on weight loss).
review 2: Mixed. The first two-thirds were mostly feel-good anecdotes of how her friends were doing better in middle age - kind of ridiculous and not applicable. There was some scientific information on how middle-age brains begin to work differently, but I would have liked to hear more about practical ap... moreplications of that difference, how to best use it. The last third of the book was more scientific in nature, presenting preventative information on aging. Many of the studies seemed dated, though. Probably better just to read current research on brain health. less
