Pumping Ions (Can): Games And Exercises To Flex Your Mind

by Tom Wujec

1988, Canadian trade paperback edition, Doubleday Canada, Toronto, Ontario, Canada. 248 pages. Images / illustrations throughout. This interesting title, written by a brainy fellow indeed, discusses the fact that our minds wander and most of us have trouble remembering names, dates, facts. The author states that much of this has to do with the fact that our minds suffer from lack of exercise. We need to flex, tone, strengthen and coordinate our mental muscles. And, here is a title that tells us how to do all that in clever, creative ways. Extremely well done, thought provoking. And this is one title that might actually help in your understanding of the world around you.

[James Ingram · Rating 5 out of 5]

An amazing book for people who want to develop their imagination and other powers of thought. Read this one back in the 90s and still practice some of the exercises there. Wow. Some of them are crazy effective, and I still find myself doing them in those quiet moments like standing in line, long flights, boring meetings, etc. Gives you the background and thinking behind why it's so beneficial to be able to visualize increasingly complex objects (Nikola Tesla style!) anytime you wish...to expand your working memory and accomplish mentally what most others need a computer or drawing pad for. If this gem is out of print, digital PDFs might be findable online.
