How to Become Smarter
Synopsis: describes techniques for improving mental abilities such as general intelligence, attention control and impulse control, information processing speed, reading and writing performance as well as understanding and getting along with other people. Some aspects of emotional intelligence are also covered, such as anger management and regulation of mood. Most of the proposed methods are temporary lifestyle changes such as “smart diets” and hydrotherapy (brief cooling or heating of the body). The proposed techniques can help you to slow down or to speed up your mental processes when necessary, or to lift or lower your mood as needed. |
