Filled with specific advice and simple exercises, this groundbreaking guide from acclaimed neurologist Dr. Richard M.

* Reawaken intellectual curiosity
* Understand the role of genetics and diet in staying mentally fit
* Shatter the myths about Alzheimer's, strokes, insomnia, and depression
* Explore the pros and cons of various drug treatments
* Learn the ten secrets of successful aging
* Maintain a stimulating social network
* Expand the connections between neurons
* Keep the brain operating at peak level
