Review:
A very intriguing and enlightening work. Brain fitness is a topic rarely discussed or studied and this book tackles the subject head on. While so many in our country work towards total fitness, taking care of and improving our brain function is never given the priority it deserves. This book proves vital for everything from daily living and work related success to long term happiness and health. 'Brain Fit for Life' meticulously covers not only maintenance and brain related care, but supplies the tools needed to improved brain efficiency for a better, more focused and 'sharper' life experience. 'Brain Fit for Life' is a must for any lifelong total fitness plan and a valuable tool for my entire family. Very powerful stuff in this book, well done. --Georgeanne Fayrweather, Triathlete and Health Fitness Professional

I give a 110% endorsement to 'BrainFit for Life - A User's Guide to Lifelong Brain Health and Fitness'. The information in this book is a must for kids from 1 to 100. I guarantee that it will change your life in many very positive ways. I have competed as a national champion athlete and coached at the high school, university, professional and Olympic levels. I have served as the director of physiological research for N.A.S.A and developed the exercise systems used for conditioning in outer space. I have also served as the National Director of the Physical Fitness Institute of America. I know how to separate good advice from bad. I can tell you without hesitation that BrainFit for Life will make a 'Big Time' difference in your and your family's life. After the 9/11 disaster I came out of retirement to help our youth. Last year I spent 171 days in middle and high school classrooms and talked to approx. 64,000 students. I talk about a Game Plan for Life - career planning, personal fitness, goal setting, time management, smoking, drugs, the importance of a second language, and the power of education. The information in BrainFit for Life has greatly added to my daily presentations and my personal health plan. We must change our thinking from cure to prevention. BrainFit for Life will not just demand your attention, it will give you the daily, all important personal game plan for change. --Dr. Dean Miller, former NASA Director of Physiological Research
