Our brains are what we use for the majority of careers these days, they are what we use to manage our relationships and they are what we use to handle money, navigate, learn and more.So if you're going to spend time training your body, it only stands to reason that you should spend at least the same amount of time training your brain.So why aren't more people already training their brains?

They have no idea that the things they're doing every single day are actually damaging their brains. And not only does this prevent those people from performing optimally every day but it could also lead to a higher chance of dementia or Alzheimer's. Just think what you could accomplish if instead of degrading and abusing your brain, you instead focussed on nourishing it, training it and helping it to grow.
