""Smarter" is an essential read. It's a riveting look at the birth
of a new science as well as a user's manual for anyone who wants to
be better at solving problems, learning new things, and coming up
with creative ideas."
--Daniel H. Pink, author of "Drive" and A "Whole New Mind"
"Hurley captures the history and mystery of intelligence, but, most
of all, the exciting new science of intellectual growth. This may
be the most important revolution of our time!"
--Carol Dweck, Author of "Mindset: The New Psychology of
Success"
"Dan Hurley isolates just what cognitive exercise boosts
intelligence. Anyone who doubts that environment can make a real
difference to cognition should start with this book."
--James R. Flynn author of "What is Intelligence"
"Filled with beautifully explained science, "Smarter" is engaging
and inspiring, offering much-needed hope to those of us whose
smarts seem to be declining. Smarter, in fact, is that rare thing:
enjoyable reading that can also improve your life."
--Gretchen Reynolds, author of The First 20 Minutes
