Reading: Think Smart: By Richard Restak pages 179-216

Summary:
     Page 179 is just a continuation from the part 5 section. the book continues discussing the brain and all the necessities for making sure your brain is healthy. This part basically serves as an overall sum of everything the book has talked about just in case one tends to forget things easily. Further research and experiments are described, including one about a research study formed in Boston. In which a professor asked students what the relationship from H,I,J,K,L,M,N,O,P had with one another. Only one student was able to answer it correctly (Thinking outside the box) that the sequence describes H to O, or H20 meaning water.
    Continuing with the healthiness of the brain the book begins listing some supplementary products which are known to boost brain function. According to the book, fish oil taken in the form of a pill is not nearly as helpful for one's brain than if they ate normal fish. It says that when capsulated the ratio of the oils becomes disturbed so it is much better to just eat natural fish from the sea. Also, it incorporates a few handy puzzles such as a word search, soduku, and a crossword puzzle to test the limits of the brain. These puzzles take up the majority of the end of the book so as far as my summary goes it will have to be short because the book ends with puzzles so I can't really summarize those. However, I did do them and they were pretty fun.
Response:
    I don't know why, but I find myself enjoying books in which I learn something and can apply my new knowledge to life. It's weird, I actually seem to be enjoying the realm of non fiction literature, for the sake of gaining knowledge. Shocking. This book makes me think of a new movie that just came out called Limitless with actor Bradley Cooper. In the film he takes a drug that opens up his entire brain for use, and he becomes a very wealthy successful man. I wish something like that truly did exist, but then again we all would be smart so I guess although the improvements would occur, our society would still be where it was today. I think I will continue with my pursuit of knowledge and begin a new book about Einstein next.
