    About this ebook

    The collection of short stories called "Gymnastics for the Brain" contains a pioneering method for exercising the mind. It presents recurrent situations of daily life, followed by lessons learned as a way of reflection, whose purpose is to stimulate the mind to practice the habit of reading in a playful way, but with greater intensity. These are also written in leetspeak language, a type of written popular mainly among Internet users for communication on social networks and games.

    This collection is based on Neurobics concepts, one of the most famous methods for brain exercising today, created by neuroscientist Larry Katz. It provides reading in a different and new way, and thus activating different areas of the brain

    The combination of stories for reflection plus texts written in leetspeak provides a complete experience in working with both hemispheres of the brain. This can contribute to the enhancement of the benefits resulting from reading. In addition, produces an increase in perception, and improves capacity for understanding and reflection on the transmitted messages. As a result, it is an efficient way of mental exercise.
