Intellect's Secret Weapon. Sekretnoe Oruzhie Intellekta

The book "Intellect's Secret Weapon" allows the reader to train different aspects of the mind. It contains puzzles, exercises and riddles. In this second edition you'll find all three books by the author, corrected and improved. In the first chapter "Why Think?" you'll learn why, 40 years later, those child prodigies are perhaps experienced professionals - but not much more. Test on your own flesh how strong psychological inertia really is, how hard it is to think-up a brand new idea and how to settle conflicts in a manner that will leave all sides pleased. The second chapter, "How to Think," contains more than a hundred puzzles (with extended solutions) that offer training for different aspects of the mind. Among them you will find puzzles with tricks and traps as well as special exercises to develop one's imagination. While solving the cleverly chosen riddles you'll receive not only pleasure but priceless training for overcoming thought barriers. In the third chapter "How to Think to The Point" you'll encounter brand new sorts of problems. You'll learn how to invent a new idea, or to re-imagine an existing one, how to settle contradictions such as, "the sheep unharmed and the wolves fed." You'll learn how - with the use of the same mental tool - to solve a technical difficulty, a family conflict and a business problem. Read, enjoy and use
