Throughout this book I hope you’ve learned what a difference simply understanding the workings of your mind can make, and hopefully this text will demonstrate that further.
Lumosity
Lumosity is a brain training site. While we haven’t been overly kind to traditional forms of brain training, this is still the number one product of its kind and it does include N-Back tests and other things that could have some benefit. So check it out, just take some of the games with a pinch of salt.
Headspace

What we have been very kind to though is meditation. Meditation is your greatest tool for getting the most out of your brain and can be a fantastic asset in increasing plasticity and so much more. That said, it is also hard to get started with, which is where Headspace comes in handy by providing you with plenty of guided meditation sessions. You don’t need a tool like this to get started, but it can sure be a big help.
