INTRODUCTION
Hello and welcome!
This is a brain training book based on word games and puzzles.
Taking care of your brain can be equally as useful as taking care of your body. Regularly doing a series of short, varied tasks can keep your mind sharp and flexible. The key to stimulating your brain is to constantly learn, and to regularly challenge your brain with new tasks.
Research shows that brain training games help improve your memory, concentration, problem-solving skills, processing speed, creativity, logic and reasoning.
We learn more if three factors are present: if we are doing something we enjoy; if there is repetition; if there is variety. For these reasons the book uses a games and puzzles theme aimed at people who enjoy words and language; there are ten examples of the same kind of game or puzzle; and there is a wide variety of types of games and puzzles.
By doing both games and puzzles it will give you the discipline that comes with finding the ‘correct’ answer required for puzzles, along with the creativity of a range of acceptable answers that a game provides. You have enough for a year’s worth of working your brain, so feel free to get started … and enjoy!
