Brain Games #3: Lower Your Brain Age in Minutes a Day (Volume 3)

I like the large amount of puzzles in this book. There are so many different things to do. They are fun and engaging. My family has a history of dementia and alzheimers, so I have a huge fear that I will develop those. As I have gotten older, I have been trying to make sure I'm preparing myself as much as possible to avoid that. These games are supposed to keep my brain working, but it honestly doesn't feel like work. They are just fun games to play. I just need to get in the habit of using it every night for a few minutes for the best results.

These books can be completed while watching television, in a waiting room, airplane, etc., and you're learning information, and keeping your brain more active.

These games provide a variety of activities to stimulate your brain. Some are ones that I like and some not so much. i have just started doing them so that I cannot say how beneficial they are.They seem to get more difficult at each level. This book can be enjoyed by anyone who likes to do puzzles, not just those concerned about dementia,

Great read

I have the first one and I love it. Decided to get this one too to stash away for later.Some of these puzzles can be challenging. Not gonna lie there. However, they're designed to make you reason things out & really use your noodle to solve each one. Once you get going, they start to sharpen different thinking strategies which can help prevent cognitive impairment & dementia. If you don't get a puzzle on the 1st try, move onto another & then go back. I write notes, numbers & possible solutions all over the margins like a workbook. The answers are in the back if you need a nudge.

I have only done about 20 puzzles so far, in order of the book. Some are a good challenge level, some are super easy. But there have been two "mistakes" or illogical things in just that short time. For example, one was a number puzzle that you needed to fill the numbers 1-9 in 9 boxes to get the columns to add to a certain number. It did not technically specify you only use the numbers once, but it's the only logical way to solve the problem as a "challenge" otherwise almost any combo could work. Anyway, I did it about 3 times and kept getting the same answer that was repeating the number 8. When I finally looked at the answer because I could not figure out what I was doing wrong, it too had 8 repeated. Another example is solving a mystery phrase about a pilot returning to the airport because the engines were making noise, logic would have you think they are going back to get a new "plane", but the solution says a new "pilot". I have another book by the same company that I have used in my classroom, and there was another example of a word problem that the conclusion of the sentence made no sense as well and that was the first puzzle in the book.

Love the start and forward at the beginning of this book.I love the binding and the cover as much as the pages that are easy to write and erase on.This is book provides everything anyone looking for brain power exercises or time consuming puzzles.

So fun! I am kinda nerdy, and have always loved doing crossword, word search, and sudoku. However, my reason for purchasing this book was due to brain fog, memory loss, and general concentration issues caused by ill health. It was recommended to me that I should do daily brain games in order to improve this symptom.Well, this book does the trick! If I do it every morning before I get my day started, I seem to be more like my old self! I can look back on things I've written in the past sometimes and not even recognize my own "voice" within the words. But, after using this book full of puzzles--I am getting back to my pre-disease brain power. I actually feel like it's possible that I wrote some of the things I come across in my journals! Awesome!

Really nice variety of puzzles!

Ótimo para aprimorar seu inglês com divertimento. Produto prático e bem elaborado, para sair da rotina dos tradiconais "Coqueteis" que pararam no tempo tem décadas.

Honestly some of these are just... well, *highly* colloquial, to be honest. But generally a decent book.

Lots of different puzzles that I enjoy doing most of them, there's a few that I skip. (looking at you crytoquotes).

Fun
