I’ve even memorised the library code for the book, 612.28. The first contact with the book was in Lee Kong Chian Reference Library. I read 29 pages of the book.

Next I went to the Public Lending Library, which is also in National Library. Although it’s not on loan, the book is nowhere to be found.

So, off I went to the Bishan Library and found it. Took it and loaned it on the spot. I went to Harbourfront and read all the way there. Stop at a little corner and read a bit more, then read on the way back home.

I strongly recommend this book to thinkers, or not. As long as you want to use your brains MORE efficiently, you should read it. Full of facts and guides to prevent all sorts of brain diseases.

Learning actually takes place when you sleep you know? The smarter ones are usually the ones who sleeps more. You absorb information in the day, and at night, your mind imprints them into your brain through neurons. Mapping new routes and forming new extensions.

And dreams, as the brain playback (so as to imprint them), daily experiences tend to playback as well. Therefore dreams.

Each forte of anyone is actually detectable in a PET (I have no idea what it is other than it’s a brain scan). Different parts of your brain develops as you develop in specific areas. For example, a pianist as an audience in a piano concert will stimulate certain parts of the brain linked to the audience pianist fingers as he/ she listens.

The following is a quote from a book ‘The body has a mind of its own’.

Your self does not end where your flesh ends, but suffuses and blends with the world, including other beings. Moreover this annexed personal space is not static. It is elastic. It morphs every time you put on or take off your clothes, wear skis or scuba gear, or wield and tool.When you eat with a knife or fork, your peripersonal space grows to envelop them. Brain cells that normally represent space no farther out than your fingertips expand their fields of awareness along the length of each utensil, making them part of you.

Simply love the abstract above. We’re more than meets the eye! Woohoo! I can foretell that I will read this book a few times, which I should be doing to school related books as well but I didn’t.
