Think about using it for meeting ice-breakers

I ended up using the "skits" in this book to start off sales meetings. It's a great resource that you can adapt to get people thinking very creatively.

A Good Little Guide...

This is a book with lots of knowledge, that gives you many ideas to further your brain and life. It doesn't have a huge amount of information on any particular subject, but it introduces you to many things enough to have the option to explore a particular subject more on your own terms. Overall, I'm very glad to have picked this book up.

Why should you Mind? Or Why should you play with it?

In the book writing industry there are hoards of books that grab your attention by title. So the question becomes why should you mind? or why should you play with it? --that is your mind-- I mean when it's the only one you've got... why waste time playing "Mind Games"? Are there other things you could do better? You know what I mean. I mean are there other sure fired ways to help your performance with the human brain ...ways other than playing with it? Sure there are many ways to employee your knowledge and plenty of other ways to use life experiences to become more productive. Here you go! Check out this neat little book called "MIND GAMES". It's full of some interesting ways to play with your mind and dozen of other ways to help your brian grow. I've discovered or uncovered many ways that were once hidden from me all because I stopped to play around with the way I think. You'll be surprised at how much a little playing around with it helps your brian to become open and ready for spontanious growth. You can do this quite easily when you sit down with your favorite drink and read "Mind Games". Oh I like grape juice with a little filtered water in it...what about you? The human mind is an amazing complex organisim in itself. It really doesn't need our assistance at all. Sometimes a small application is all thats needed. While most people are literally playing with it (and we can tell that they're playing with it by how little they really use it in a controlled way). I think there are many productive ways to use your mind and a great deal many more ways in which you can benefit from reading the simply written, easy to follow exercises in "Mind Games". "Mind Games" shows you how the brain is laid out. Like an amazing map it has some mind jerking titles that make you want to read the book. It deals with concepts such as How to win at chess How to master remembering names or even the telephone directory Increasing your listening skills Thinking like a genius How to feed your Brain The importance of water toward improving increased thinking. Developing Mental Toughness and over 129 other topics that they expound on that reveal major benefits to the mind enthusiast. The subject of Brian Gym is just as interesting as How to be Assertive. One of my most favorite parts of the book was when I stumbled across the subject of how to develop your Listening Skills. Not even you can afford to over look learning new ways that you could improve your skill of listening towards. Well Mind games is a neat little book I'd like to recommend to you. Are you listening? I sure hope you are..because if you're not...think of all the relationships you could make huge improvements in if you were just listening. Thanks for doing that! Your Servant, Deremiah, *CPE PS Did I tell you that MIND GAMES focuses on improving the mind? Can you afford not to make mental improvements? I think you should Mind...I think you should play with it! MIND G

OPENED MY MIND haha

Seriously though, this book makes you think outside the box. We all do not utilize the most powerful part of our body enough - our minds. This book allows us to exploit the power of our minds. It's highly interesting and fun. I showed it to a few friends, and they love it.
