“I strongly believe it is our duty to maximise the potential of our brains every day of our lives. For people in their 40s, 50s and 60s, now is the time to really take charge. We are a much larger population compared to the younger people coming through and there is no way they will be able to support us all when we will need it.The longer we can maintain our faculties, the better for us all. If you want to take charge of your brain and enhance your life, this book is a wonderful place to start.”
