Embedded w/in the article is the link to the first-place winner: Smoke, A Convenient Truth. You may click here to go to it directly: http://www.slideshare.net/mrcoryjim/smoke-the-convenient-truth-5602255

The presentation will make you truly think about both things:
1. Making better use of Power Point to get your ideas across
2. Rethinking smoking (and if you haven’t quit yet, you really must)

Excellent Newsweek article on how it can possibly be done. And forget that small piece of scientific data that states the benefits of nicotine. Dementia and a host of other illness– the cancers of the throat and lungs being foremost– is not quite worth any efforts at building a better brain!

But the three things that WILL work as per this article– and ones that I resoundingly support– are these:

1. Physical Exercise

2. Meditation

3. Videogames (ha!)

So, here’s to a better brain in 2011. Remember folks: get the dopamine levels UP and the cortisol levels down!

Oh, and crossword puzzles might not really help, but they’ll make you FEEL smarter, so keep doing those for sure!
