Publisher's summary

An exciting new science-driven guide to protecting your mind from decline.

Throughout our lives, we are always looking for ways to keep our mind sharp and effortlessly productive. In this book, globetrotting neurosurgeon Dr Sanjay Gupta offers insights from top scientists all over the world, whose cutting-edge research can help you heighten and protect brain function and maintain cognitive health at any age.

Keep Sharp debunks common myths about ageing and cognitive decline, explores whether there's a 'best' diet or exercise regimen for the brain and explains whether it's healthier to play video games that test memory and processing speed or to engage in more social interaction.

Discover what we can learn from 'super-brained' people who are in their 80s and 90s but showing no signs of slowing down - and whether there are truly any benefits to drugs, supplements and vitamins. Dr Gupta also addresses brain disease, particularly Alzheimer's, answers all your questions about signs and symptoms, and shows you both how to ward against it and how to care for a partner in cognitive decline.

The book also provides listeners with a personalized 12-week programme featuring practical strategies to strengthen your brain every day.

Keep Sharp is the only owner's manual you'll need to keep your brain young and healthy at any age!

Tough topic, but still hopeful and coherent.

I read some of the reviews here before getting this book. Most were positive and having watched Dr Gupta on CNN for several years, I was curious. This is a book that gathers together all the information & research at this time and presents it in a manner that is coherent and easy to understand. It has inspired me to find out more on the subject. I have also gifted it to friends & family. I think it’s a useful book.

Simple tips to prevent cognitive decline

This book is suitable for people that are looking for ways to prevent or slow their cognitive decline that is, sometimes, unavoidable with time and aging. Although some of the ways to do that mentioned in this book are not groundbreaking (or something you never heard before), like 8-hours of sleep or eating better, some are new and thought-provoking, Dr. Gupta backs his claims through recent, well understood, scientifically backed data. He, being the narrator, manages to talk to the listener in a way that is straight forward, clear and concise. He gives out what works for him, he disproves many myths and in general, he shares his experiences as a neurosurgeon and a journalist travelling the world and talking to experts in the frontlines of science.
In general, I am happy I heard this book and would recommend to anyone that wants to treat their brain as they treat the rest of their body.

A must read.

i have always enjoyed Sanjay on CNN and this book did not disappoint. No hype, just facts and easy to follow guidelines.
