A Great Little Book

If you've made it this far you know who Orage is. He has over 200 exercises in the first section and 16 short essay in the second section.The exercises are mainly for work on the intellectual centre but with different emphasises on Memory, Imagination and Thinking. For example Number 13 on page 44 "While visualising some verse, write down a regular set of number. Reverse." The exercises start off relatively simple and become progressively difficult.There are a few emotional and motor centre exercises, however these seem to be in the minority.The essays are useful: ExamplesHow to Learn to ThinkHow not to be BoredOn Dying Daily The last listed essay includes a particularly difficult exercise to grasp which sounds quite easy. Orage assures the reader he or she shall become more skilled with practice.Much like the game of chess this book is easy to understand but no doubt would take a lifetime to master. Highly recommended and undoubtably one to give the consciousness a good going over.
