 It's a book on trying to improve your brain. December 3, 2007
1 out of 6 found this review helpful
Ever wanted to learn to hack that meatspace computer inside your skull? This book may help you learn how. Ironically, all I remember about the book without cracking the cover is the section on memory improvement.
Pretty good May 22, 2007
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
The book is filled with plenty of hacks, although some of them were somewhat useless and uninteresting to me.
The memory hacks are pretty decent, but they don't go into enough detail on how to actually learn to use them. If you figure them out they work incredibly well, though. Some of the fast-math hacks were pretty helpful as well. One of my tops, however, was the hack that shows you how to calculate the weekday of any given day.
Good buy, good as a reference book just to learn something new if you ever need to.
 just not that impressed March 29, 2007

I bought this book sort of on a whim, hoping it might be a real gem. I've read some of the Hacks but not all of them. To me, they seem to skirt around the edges of usefulness, implementability, and impact. The strongest points seem like things I've heard elsewhere. I'm going to go back to the book based on all the positive reviews here, but I'm skeptical.
 Just what I was looking for. January 14, 2007

Focus on getting your mind expanding/growing. A great and highly useful set of tools, perspectives on maximizing your mental abilties. Wonderfully written, precise, Although I have been a software developer for 27 years, the Perls scripts are not essential for the non-developer type. Great for those of us heading into the 60+ years bracket. Got to be worth the bucks. Lots of great hacks. Buy it.
OK but not full of new things January 8, 2007

It was OK and mostly worth the money but it was not full of new things for me. The hype on this book made me expect more out of this than I received.
