The Playful Brain: The Surprising Science of How Puzzles Improve Your Mind

Author: Richard Restak, M.D., with puzzles by Scott Kim
Stars: 3.5

 If your family thinks you spend too much time lolly-gagging around doing puzzles, this is the book for you!  Any puzzle lover will enjoy it.  Read about how different types of puzzles do different things for your thinking.  Especially interesting to me was Chapter 8 - Time: Clock Time vs. Brain Time - where I got some amazing insight into why I am always late!!!  Challenging puzzles sprinkled throughout the book.  I want to actually buy this book so that I can write in it and solve the puzzles!
