Everyday Genius

Description

Written by six-time USA Memory Champion Nelson Dellis, this practical nonfiction book includes fun, simple techniques that can help anyone look smarter and actually get smarter at the same time. What if one fun-to-read book could teach you how to read faster and retain more? What if you had a toolbox for learning anything more proficiently, from mastering a new language to improving your focus, memory, and concentration--and even decision-making? And what if that book could also teach you hacks for solving puzzles and riddles, counting cards in blackjack, solving Rubik's cube blindfolded, and improving your strategy in chess, Sudoku, and other games? In 2009, inspired by his beloved grandmother's struggle with Alzheimer's, Nelson Dellis embarked on a transformative journey to strengthen his cognitive abilities. That led not just to his five USA Memory Championships, but to his lifelong commitment to helping others boost their mental abilities. While he doesn't promise to turn you into the next Albert Einstein, he does guarantee that you will be amazed at how much hidden potential you have waiting to be unlocked. In Everyday Genius, Dellis offers a four-part guide filled with practical techniques that readers of all backgrounds can use to supercharge the little skills that will make a big difference in their personal and professional lives.
