Mental Monday
I have been listening to "Making A Good Brain Great" by Daniel Amen M.D. Among other recommendations to garner a healthy brain, Dr. Amen, recommends trying to learn new things. He goes into the scientific reasons why this is, but honestly my brain has not advanced that far yet. Maybe if I implement his various tips, I will be able to more fully comprehend his science behind his recommendations.
To that end, I have begun to learn Italian using the Rosetta Stone. So far I am very impressed with their system and how quickly I seem to be picking it up. This serves a dual purpose for me. Not only will it expand my brain, but it will also move me closer to my goal of someday relocation to Italy.
My other chief venture in mental expansion is speedreading. For this venture I chose to use EYEQ. Through three sessions I have increased my speed by 20% to almost 500 words per minute. Once I have this mastered I will move on to photoreading.
