So many books, apps, courses, and schools compete for our attention that the problem isn't a lack of opportunity to sharpen our minds, it's having to choose between so many options. And yet, more than two thousand years ago, the greatest thinker of Ancient Greece, Aristotle, had already discovered the blueprint of the human mind. Despite the fact that the latest cognitive science shows his blueprint to be exactly what sharpens our reasoning, subtlety of thought, and ability to think in different ways and for ourselves, we have meanwhile replaced it with a simplistic and seductive view of intelligence, education and the mind. Condensing that blueprint to six 'secrets', Craig Adams uncovers the underlying patterns of every discussion and debate we've ever had, and shows us how to be both harder to manipulate and more skilful in any conversation or debate - no matter the topic.

Wesley Carrington Graeyer Author of "The Tornado Struck at Midnight" ""Through Louise Cabral's book, 'Islands of Recall' I learned enough about writing to make me an author. She showed me the importance of writing with feeling. I learned that for every event and every action there is a reaction, which led me to look into my responses from my farm life at the beginning to the war years that were so different from my early environment. Her book taught me how to write action and dialogue. Her reservoir of knowledge inspired me to write my own story in a book of my own."" Richard Cornelius-author of "From the Farm and Off to War"

How much of what we call "mind" exists below our consciousness? Can we access seemingly inaccessible memories? Is it possible to train and focus the conscious mind to tap our unconscious reserves? In this forgotten classic from 1903, William Walker Atkinson-one of the most influential thinkers of the early-20th-century "New Age" philosophy of New Thought-explores the unknown realms of human memory and how we can increase our personal power and grow as mindful beings by becoming more aware of our own psyches. Atkinson discusses: . the subconscious storehouse . attention and concentration . acquiring impressions . eye perception and memory . ear perception and memory . remembrance, recollection, and recognition . and more. American writer WILLIAM WALKER ATKINSON (1862-1932) was editor of the popular magazine New Thought from 1901 to 1905, and editor of the journal Advanced Thought from 1916 to 1919. He authored dozens of New Thought books under numerous pseudonyms, some of which are likely still unknown today, including "Yogi Ramacharaka" and "Theron Q. Dumont."

She takes readers along on her lively journey--consulting with experts in the fields of sleep, stress, traumatic brain injury, hormones, genetics, and dementia, as well as specialists in nutrition, cognitive psychology, and the burgeoning field of drug-based cognitive enhancement.
