If you like puzzles and games (not to mention trivia) involving your brain, then get this book. Very fun and interesting read. You can’t usually go wrong with anything published by O’reilly. Great book.

I found this book to be interesting in the way that it presents it’s topics. It was insightful and worth the purchase. It is the type of book that you select chapters that interest you as opposed to going cover to cover.

This is an amazing book. For each entry, they show you how to do the mind hack, explain it and how it works in terms of the brain, and then explains how it works in the real world. Then there are suggestions for further reading into that specific phenomenon.

I can’t recommend it highly enough.
