Book Review: Mind Performance Hacks

Mind Performance Hacks: Tips and Tools for Overclocking your Brain by Ron Hale-Evans.

I got this book a few weeks ago and I must say that I have actually learned some very useful techniques. The book covers everything involving using your mind better in an easy to read and assimiliate manner.

The chapter headings and some sub chapters are:

  1. Memory
    • Remember 10 things to Bring
    • Use the Dominic System
    • Dominate your Memory
  2. Information Processing
    • Catch your ideas
    • Write Faster
    • Pre Delete CruftCreativity
  3. Math
    • Put down that calculator
    • Turn your hands into an Abacus
    • Estimate Orders of Magnitude
  4. Decision Making
    • Foresee important Problems
    • Predict the length of a lifetime
    • Don’t overthink it
  5. Communication
    • Learn an Artificial Language
    • Learn Morse code like an efficiency expert
    • Harness Stage Fright
  6. Clarity
    • Avoid Cognitive Distortions
    • Use the fourfold Breath
    • Hypnotize yourself
  7. Mental Fitness
    • Warm up your Brain
    • Get a good night’s sleep
    • Overclock your Brain

If you know me you definitely know that I love to learn and learning new ways to learn faster, better or differently are always at the top of my list. There is always a better way and this book outlines and details a number of different methods you can use to imrpove your memory, memorizing up to 10,000+ items correctly, communicate your ideas faster and better, keep track of your thoughts on paper (or electronically) faster than you thought was possible. If you thought you couldn’t type any faster, you would be surprised to learn about some methods of getting your thoughts down even faster.

Overall It is my opinion that this book should be taught as a class 3 times. Once in grade school, again in high school and as a prerequisite for college with an advanced course after that. There is simple too much here to not look at it. I am already using some of what I have learned and plan on using more.
