Book Description
The New York Times bestselling author of The Year of Living Biblically goes on a rollicking journey to understand the enduring power of puzzles: why we love them, what they do to our brains, and how they can improve our world. “Even though I’ve never attempted the New York Times crossword puzzle or solved the Rubik’s Cube, I couldn’t put down The Puzzler.”—Gretchen Rubin, author of The Happiness Project and Better Than Before Look for the author’s new podcast, The Puzzler, based on this book! What makes puzzles—jigsaws, mazes, riddles, sudokus—so satisfying? Be it the formation of new cerebral pathways, their close link to insight and humor, or their community-building properties, they’re among the fundamental elements that make us human. Convinced that puzzles have made him a better person, A.J. Jacobs—four-time New York Times bestselling author, master of immersion journalism, and nightly crossworder—set out to determine their myriad benefits. And maybe, in the process, solve the puzzle of our very existence. Well, almost. In The Puzzler, Jacobs meets the most zealous devotees, enters (sometimes with his family in tow) any puzzle competition that will have him, unpacks the history of the most popular puzzles, and aims to solve the most impossible head-scratchers, from a mutant Rubik’s Cube, to the hardest corn maze in America, to the most sadistic jigsaw. Chock-full of unforgettable adventures and original examples from around the world—including new work by Greg Pliska, one of America’s top puzzle-makers, and a hidden, super-challenging but solvable puzzle—The Puzzler will open readers’ eyes to the power of flexible thinking and concentration. Whether you’re puzzle obsessed or puzzle hesitant, you’ll walk away with real problem-solving strategies and pathways toward becoming a better thinker and decision maker—for these are certainly puzzling times.

Book Description
With this puzzle book there is no boredom for children from 5 years. Diverse and varied topics such as nature and the environment, numbers and letters, fairy tale puzzles, hygiene for kids, maze/search picture, spatial vision, Sudoku/Domino, paint and draw, right or wrong, joke questions, language of animals were chosen, which promote logical thinking, concentration and preschool knowledge. But beware: the puzzle book is not an activity book that the child can master completely on his own. Task explanations must be read aloud and one or the other hint must be given. The solutions are easy to find via a link. The puzzle book is very suitable in the family, but also exemplary for games and activities in kindergarten as well as in the first elementary school class. An advantage is that the puzzle book is glued and does not split into flying sheets. So it is also good to take with you on the road. The book block is printed in grayscale.
