Misplacing your keys, forgetting someone's name at a party, or coming home from the market without the most important item — these are just some of the many common memory slips we all experience from time to time. But such cognitive lapses don't just plague middle-agers and seniors; UCLA studies indicate that forgetfulness begins much earlier in life. Scientists can detect subtle changes in the brain that coincide with mental decline by the time we reach age 40, and our findings show that people as young as 20 already have memory problems.
Dr. Gary Small and Gigi Vorgan's 2 Weeks To A Younger Brain translates the latest brain science into practical strategies and exercises that yield quick and long- lasting benefits. It will not only improve your memory, but will also strengthen your physical health by reducing your risk for diabetes, heart disease, and stroke. The latest research confirms that there is a lot we can do to boost our memory and keep our brains young. After three decades of helping thousands of patients improve their memory and mental acuity, Dr. Small and Gorgan are convinced that our daily lifestyle habits are directly linked to our brain health. This book will show that it only takes two weeks to form new habits that bolster cognitive abilities and help stave off, or even reverse, brain aging.
If you commit only 14 days to 2 Weeks To A Younger Brain, you will reap noticeable results. During that brief period, you will have learned the secrets to keeping your brain young for the rest of your life.

      Much brain research has been done in the ten years since the authors' The Memory Prescription was published, and while some of the basics of improving one's memory (focus, giving information personal meaning to make it memorable, creating "memory places" to avoid misplacing everyday items, using visual stories that link together to-do list items, and other strategies) remain basically the same, there is growing evidence that shows the efficacy of these techniques as well as the effects of stress, nutrition, physical fitness, social networks, and medications and supplements on memory and the brain. Small, director of the University of California Los Angeles Longevity Center, and his frequent coauthor Vorgan have ably incorporated this research into this new book, making their easy-to-follow two-week program, as well as their other suggestions and observations, more evidence-based than before. VERDICT We are all aging, and people as young as 20 already report recall problems, thus memory strength is a concern for many adults. This absorbing and instructive book will be helpful to a wide array of readers.--Marcia G. Welsh, Dartmouth Coll. Lib., Hanover, NH
