How to Become Smarter Review
How to Become Smarter Overview
You can download and read this book for free (see the download link in the free sample) and you
will have to pay only if you enjoy the book. This text describes techniques for improving mental
abilities. Some of the things it can help you to achieve include the following:
- Depending on circumstances, use different lifestyles that improve one or another mental
function. - Experience euphoria without drugs and come up with new ideas, when needed.
- Slow down and prevent yourself from making rash, impulsive decisions, when necessary.
- Sharpen your wit, become more talkative, and entertain people.
- When necessary, lower your mood and increase emotional tension, which can help reduce
procrastination. - Increase your score on intelligence or general aptitude tests.
- Concentrate on reading and writing for many hours daily.
- Increase your grade point average if you are a student or improve your job productivity if you
are a knowledge worker. - Get along with people and live without arguments and conflicts.
The proposed methods are brief cooling or heating of the body (water therapy) and three
different "smart diets," each suitable for a different type of task. The text also describes a
"depressant diet," which is not a smart diet but can improve self-control and sleep. The strict diets
do not have to be used on a permanent basis and the conventional food pyramid is recommended
most of the time. Several useful social skills and studying/writing techniques are also discussed as
well as the role of luck in personal achievement.
Most authors in this field will tell you that you should read more books, solve mental puzzles, buy
their nutritional supplements, sleep well, exercise, etc., in order to get smarter. In contrast, this book
is proposing moderately cold hydrotherapy and a smart diet (which involves avoiding all dietary
supplements). To give another example, most books on anger management say that you should try
to change your thinking in order to overcome anger, while this book suggests hot hydrotherapy and
the exclusion of certain foods from your diet. The main focus of discussion in this text is on changing
the biological workings of the brain, not on pop psychology. Particularly, the book describes
various combinations of diets and hydrotherapy that have the following effects: sedative/sleep-
promoting, stimulant/wakefulness-promoting, attention-enhancing, antianxiety, antidepressant,
mood-stabilizing (mood-lowering), and euphoriant. Additionally, existing scientific evidence of pain-
reducing, fever-reducing, anti-fatigue, immunostimulatory, antinausea, antihypertensive, and anti-
inflammatory effects of hydrotherapy is also presented. The possible side effects of the diets and
hydrotherapy are discussed as well.
Despite its technical content, the book is written in an accessible language and has an informative
summary for each chapter and a list of key points at the end of each section. Most of the claims in
the bulleted list above are supported by a theory and the author's personal experience (a healthy
subject). About a half of these claims are directly supported by previously published scientific
studies, including the claim about intelligence tests. The author's academic transcripts and test scores
have been documented and can be verified independently.
