There is no silver bullet short-cut, it takes research and application to keep one's brain fit. Instead of looking for one winner, the author proves that different approaches to brain-fitness are building on each-other. Alvaro introduces the pillars of brain-fitness. I like this book, which covers lifelong neurogenesis, neuroplasticity and cognitive reserve building, including latest development in neuroscience, and tools we can use to apply such findings to our daily life. This book does not assume anything: initially, it covers the basic concepts you need to understand what will be presented in later chapters. Alvaro Fernandez, together with his team, is a leading force who is facilitating neuroscience outreach and brain-fitness literacy. 'The SharpBrains Guide to Brain Fitness' is refreshing, comprehensive (as much as that's possible), evidence-based and empowering. Many books are useful, but they are strongly biased towards a few dogmas that the author wants to write. Each chapter ends with short, mindful insights, inspired by Shanti, a lovely Coton de Tulear.I have been devouring brain-related books, to be able to compare different perspectives and studies. Back-pages were intentionally left blank, to ensure cards can be cut without affecting the text of the book. If you like, you can cut them out, glue them to cardboard, and cut out each card. These engravings are printed inside the book, on regular pages. You do not need to buy a Mantegna Tarot deck to use this book. The remaining chapters explain how to use the cards, integrating them into your daily life.

Each of the first four chapters of this book, analyzes the Mantegna Tarot cards for the corresponding sphere. When the Four Spheres are not in synch, problems arise. When these spheres are in harmony, you live a meaningful life that expresses its full potential for the benefit of all. It explains how to use the Mantegna Tarot to gain more insights about the Four Spheres of life: behavior, emotions, cognition, meaning. It is not an academic treatise about tarots, nor about the mesmerizing history of the Renaissance. This hands-on book presents actionable ways to use the Mantegna Tarot as a tool of personal growth, to flourish for the benefit of all beings by tapping into the creative sparkles of the Italian Renaissance. Get access to the wisdom that made the Renaissance possible, using the Mantegna Tarot as compass. Unleash the Transformative Sparkles of the Renaissance Mantegna Tarot' shows you how to turn your life into a masterpiece, for the benefit of all.
