Improve Your Brain in the New Year
As we start to dig into the new year many are fast at work on their resolutions. Once again the most common resolution is to lose weight. This focus on the body is indeed important, but sometimes overlooked is the mind. Our brain needs just as much of a workout as our thighs or belly. […]
A Mensa-Centric World
How much does an IQ score mean to our modern society? That is a good “thinking question” to ask ourselves when going about our everyday lives.
