How To Improve Your Mind Reviews

"Professor James Flynn sets a clever trap in his latest book, How to Improve Your Mind. Promising that all readers will "be far more able to defend their position after reading it than before", Flynn instead provides the critical tools necessary instead for reassessing the irrational beliefs each of us hold and, in so confronting, end them. For your own good, you should let yourself be trapped." Weekend Press, Christchurch
