Using your brain to help others

I usually spend Saturday morning having a relaxing catch up with emails, bits of paper, updating this blog in the peace and quiet of my office. The only person likely to disturb me is Ann, my office cleaner who sometimes likes to have a chat.

Last weekend she was sharing a few hindering thoughts about getting older and needing to stimulate her mind more. As she knew I had co-written a book about the brain, she was asking me some questions and the conversation turned to computer games that would stimulate her thinking.

So this week she is in for a surprise £65 to go shopping to buy herself a brain training game.

Who do you know that worries that they might be losing their marbles a bit? How could you use £65 to stimulate their thinking?

Andy,
Is it too cheeky to ask you for £65 to spend on 6 of your Brain Magic books? In other words, don't send me the money - just send me the books. I will then go on a Go MAD adventure to find 6 people who would benefit from them. What do you think?

Hi Pete,

A good use of your brain! Let me know your address and I will put the books in the post.
