• Your Brain: The Missing Manual


    <p>This isnt the sort of book I usually review. I dont know if you can say it has much to do with the computing industry, but it is on a topic that we all have in common (hopefully). I dont always consider myself the brightest bulb in the ceiling, so when I saw this book was available and read the subtitle, <i>"How to get the most from your mind"</i>, I couldnt resist and asked for a review copy. Heres how it goes. One of the first things I do when I get a book for review, is to take a look at the back cover. The material there usually offers a nice summary of the content contained therein. I didnt find this back cover blurb to be particularly helpful. It seemed too "general", saying in part, <i>"One part science guide, one part self-help concierge...grounded in...neuroscience, psychology, and nutritional wisdom..."</i> I have a bachelors degree in Psychology and a masters in Counseling, so I have something of the necessary background to review the material, but a neuroscientist, Im not. Whats the average reader going to make of it?</p>
