Mindhacker contains eight chapters containing roughly eighty techniques for improving a variety of mental skills. This book will be a follow-up to the author's previous book, Mind Performance Hacks, which followed the same basic format. Mindhacker is a compilation of accessible techniques that readers can use to improve memory, accelerate learning, process large amounts of information more easily, spark creativity, hone math and logic skills, communicate better, think more clearly, and generally keep their minds strong and flexible. In each section, current theory and research is implemented in techniques that can be used in practical, everyday situations. Examples: Hack 8. Mix Up Your Facts: Expand your vocabulary and knowledge of general facts with Google, a voice recorder, and an MP3 player set on shuffle. Hack 19. Ask the Hive Mind: We've seen that range voting, as used by Netflix, Amazon, and other websites, can be very effective. Now learn how to make the most of these sites' collaborative filtering systems, as well as intelligent feedback from websites like AskMetaFilter, to solve problems and help yourself and others discover new information of vital interest. Hack 25. Date Your Data: Instead of page numbers, learn a simple, compact shorthand to date every document you touch, including your moleskine or Hipster PDA. All the time you spend on this hack will pay for itself the first time you need it.
