Kumon Train Your Brain-60 Days to a Better Brain Paperback – July 31, 2005

Just completed the sixty day program in this workbook. My personal experience, as a nearly 56 year-old man, is that it works. The changes have been subtle, to the best of my awareness, but definite. I’ve found my mind sharper, with an enhanced sense of short-term recall. I’ll be continuing the exercises from the beginning of the book indefinitely. As with anything, don’t expect miracles overnight. No new runner does 26.2 miles on their first day. They work up to it. I’m therefore hopeful and expectant that my progress will continue with time. And speaking of time: it takes only a couple of minutes per day to complete the main exercises (less for me, actually). I compete with myself, tracking my performance day after day. It’s fun, obviously an important factor in sticking to a routine. If you’re experiencing any slip in brain function, or simply want to sharpen that organ further, this book is certainly worth a try.

I have purchased multiple copies of this book to improve my mental status. Well satisfied with the exercises.

Interesting

This very reasonably priced book has numerous simple brain exercises that reportedly can increase your overall brain functioning. I enjoy doing them and have reason to believe that they are actually effective...worth trying...

The book is nothing but pages of 4th grade math problems.

I'VE been doing this daily ... i'm up to about day 30 .. of course I can't tell if it's working or not .. but I do enjoy challenging myself ... and feel as though this book is doing the trick... I do not write IN THE BOOK.. I write on a separate tablet ... so I can use the book over and over again ...

The book has daily exercises which includes 2 pages per day of multiplication and addition problems and memory exercises. It's a good book.

I returned the book. It turned out to be page after page of number problems. I have the Nintendo game and it's a lot of fun to use. There are more games and puzzles. One puzzle is triangle math. I cannot figure out what is expected of me. The instructions are no help. The internet is no help. Help!
