Product Description
As medicine continues to increase longevity, it becomes more and more vital for us all to keep the mind healthy and vigorous.

As a cofounder and director of the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine, Dr. Robert Goldman has at his fingertips all of the latest scientific research on what each of us can do not only to retain all our mental powers as long as we live but also to actually strengthen and improve our mind-power as we age.

Now he shares that information, in a layperson's terms, with numerous self-tests, information charts, and quizzes, so that we all can improve memory, sharpen concentration, reduce stress, learn to sleep better, and--above all--ward off the devastation of Alzheimer's disease.

Goldman discusses the many nutritional supplements, vitamins, minerals, and medications that have been proved to enhance mental fitness, providing specific doses and regimens. But beyond that, he also describes particular exercises and lifestyle techniques designed to sharpen mental acuity.

As medicine continues to increase longevity, and it becomes more vital for us all to keep the mind healthy and vigorous, Brain Fitness is destined to become our bible for the new millennium.Amazon.com Review
Robert Goldman holds a Ph.D. in steroid biochemistry, foundedthe National Academy of Sports Medicine, and is an adviser to theJournal of Longevity Research. In Brain Fitness, hemakes a valid point that's been proven by recent studies: yourbrainpower, like the muscles of your body, can be expanded throughexercise. And with the life expectancy of humans nearly doubling inthe past century, he says, paying attention to your cognitive skillsand taking steps to ward off Alzheimer's is becoming more and morevital.

Through various self-quizzes, charts, and self-tests,Brain Fitness helps you determine what state your brain is innow--and helps you boost your memory power accordingly. Some of theinformation is surprising (such as that over-the-counter painkillerslike ibuprofen have been shown to inhibit brain function and memorywith long-term use). Some other parts, such as the section on howchronic stress can inhibit your health, has shown up in all of thenumerous anti-aging books of late. But for baby boomers interested inlearning about what the aging process is doing to their memories--andwhat they can do to boost their brain power--Brain Fitness is agood place to start. ...

A good reference book on the subject
The book quality is somewhat erratic from chapter to chapter.But, there is a lot of valuable information in it.This is especially true regarding all the micro nutrients, vitamins, herbal supplements that are good to maintain your cognitive skills.Through the years I find myself referring to this book very often.Although the book was written a few years ago, it appears very current.

Fellow physician/"brain-author" agrees with premise of this.
As more and more research suggests, there are ways that, by altering your lifestyle and intake, as well as your basic brain activity, you can possibly curtail what we traditionally think of as an"inevitable" aging process of the brain and its function. Dr.Goldman reviews many of these tools available, a number of which in fact,(despite other reviewer comments to the contrary), DO have peer-reviewedscientific studies to back them up.May I suggest "The Care andFeeding of Your Brain" as a companion guide to Goldman's book toprovide another perspective on how you can affect brain aging, and for amore general view of brain optimization right now, before aging...Mycongratulations to Dr. Goldman and colleagues on a book well done and easyto read!...All the best...Kenneth Giuffre'MD, author, "The Care andFeeding of Your Brain"

Disappointing, discouraging, and mildly offensive
The author needs to determine who his audience is.The book seems to be aimed at young people seeking to achieve and maintain 'super mind power'.The title (anti-aging) appeals to those of us who are experiencing 'brainfog' and want it to stop.While the tests will confirm or rebut oursuspicions that something is wrong, the author suggests only the same-oldhome remedies - diet, vitamins and herbs, destress - that I have been usingfor years already. The mental excersizes are a bad joke - things I used tolove doing when my mind was functional are now proposed as excersizes -which I couldn't do if my life depended upon it. There is nothingsuggested in the way of medical treatment or what to tell a doctor toconvince them that 'something is wrong'.Many things I have read about,found to be helpful and consider somewhat more cutting-edge - like oxygentherapy or the debate regarding the danger in dental fillings - are noteven mentioned.Human growth hormone is dismissed in one sentance. If Ibelieved this book, I would give up all hope.

You need cognitive enhancement if you accept this.
This book has value. It will test your IQ. If you accept it as authoritative on cognition and memory, then you may need cognitive enhancement. It appears to be more for ego enhancement. Look for theauthror's contributions to the field in peer-reviewed journals.

Extremely educational and informational!
This book completely changed the way I looked at nutrition for the brain.It really makes you re-think your view on your personal self and lets you know that you are capable of so much more than what you're doing. Dr.Goldman did an outstanding job relating his personal goals and the goals ofother prominent people is society.He brings to life the realities of"famous people are just like ordinary people." This bookdefinitely changed the way I look at growing old.Age is inevitable, butaging is not. ... Read more
