About the Book

You have heard about the benefits of running for physical and mental well-being. You have read about chess and mathematics as training for the mind. You have heard advice about supplements, proper nutrition, and abstinence from alcohol. But have you ever wondered what might happen inside the mind if you brought all of these things into play at once?
Brain Bombardment takes the form of a runner's diary. It describes the pursuit of supreme mental conditioning, as well as the obstacles that get in the way.

·Does running aid you in your studies when you are past your prime as a runner?
·What holds people back from developing at math?
·Can principles of Soviet chess training be applied to other
subjects?
