"The most pressing concerns with the Information Age are: how do we deal with the daily influx of information that our inundated mental capacities are faced with? At what point does our Stone Age brain become insufficient? Will we be able to train our brains effectively to increase brain capacity in order to stay in step with our inexorable lifestyles? Or will we be stricken with attention deficits because of brain overload? Torkel Klingberg is an international authority on cognitive training. In this book, he addresses these questions as he takes us through the limits and possibilities of the brain. What he suggests is this: if we find a balance between the demand of everyday activities and our limited Stone Age brain capacity, we can maximally develop our working memory - improving our brains and ourselves."--BOOK JACKET.
