Title: Pointless waste of innocent trees
Review: According to the cover blurb this book reflects the very latest brain research. In fact it is almost completely based on what is known as "Hebbian Learning", or as this author puts it (over and over and OVER again) "cells that fire together, wire together."Is this new? Not unless you count research circa 1949 as new.Despite the author's impressive CV, this book has a single message - brain cells don't regenerate, but the more you use your brain the more new connections it will develop.Question is, how to you string this message out to over 250 pages? With lots of waffle and SERIOUS repetition. That's how.Not even a total newcomer to the subject will be able to extract much from this simplistic, even patronising text.Conclusion: Like the headline says, a pointless waste of innocent trees.
