Book Description
Enjoy figuring out creative solutions to real-world problems that have led to important inventions, discoveries, and innovations throughout history! Do you love trivia quizzes... but wish these didn't rely so much on useless facts that you either know or you don't, leaving no room for actual thinking? Do you enjoy logic puzzles... but want to learn something more valuable than just getting correct answers to abstract, theoretical problems? Something more practical and fundamental? This book aims to change the game. The problems in this book are related to erudition in fundamental areas - nature, technology, business, science, how things work, or why things are made in a certain way. But, unlike in trivia or jeopardy, you most probably do not know the answer. Instead, logic, out-of-the-box thinking, or intuition leap should be added to your general knowledge to puzzle out the correct solution. Experience walking in the footsteps of discoverers, inventors, and innovators through taking on real-world problems that challenge you to tap into lateral thinking and creativity. In this book, you will find: + 241 engaging problems across 12 fascinating topics: Ingenious Inventions, Business Innovations, Nature & Science, Historical Happenings, Folk Wisdom from different cultures around the world, and many more. + All problems have additional hints, which make it much easier to brainstorm. + Answers have explanations, going beyond fun facts, providing more insight and subject matter knowledge. + Chapters are arranged by difficulty and subject, so you have complete control over how you play. + An easy-to-navigate format eliminates the need to flip back and forth between sections, helping you keep the fun going and avoid accidentally stumbling upon answers. Each version of the book (ebook, paper book, audiobook) has its distinct structure. + All content is family-friendly and is ideal for adults and advanced teenagers. The "Easy Problems" chapters also work for gifted children. Children are often very good at ideation (idea generation) and solving problems creatively. Most stumpers of this book can be used as a mind game regardless of age, education, or background. Solo or in a team. + See inside for a link to download your FREE Bonus eBooks. Sharpen your logic, improve your analytical abilities, enhance your creativity, and develop your lateral thinking skills, all while having fun and learning more about the world around you.

Book Description
Based on the science that shows that people middle-aged or older who solve word games and brainteasers have a significant cognitive advantage over those who do not, 399 Games, Puzzles & Trivia Challenges is the illustrated game book specifically created to cross-train the brain. Here are 399 games to stretch, challenge, and push the reader, all of which stimulate the formation of neurons—literally, regrowing the brain. Plus they’re not only good for you, but just plain good—these games are fun. 399 Games, Puzzles & Trivia is a lively mix of challenges, riddles, and brainteasers—all vetted by a neuroscientist who specializes in aging brains and designed to work the six key areas of cognitive function that are vulnerable in normal aging: long-term memory, working memory, executive functioning, attention to detail, multitasking, and processing speed. The games are arranged from easiest to most difficult and are labeled according to which cognitive functions they exercise so they can be mixed and matched into a custom “workout.” In just 15 minutes a day, anyone can improve his brain’s strength, flexibility, and long-term health.
