1. The brain needs intellectual challenges.
In the course of solving complex tasks, such as learning a new language, mathematics or the exploration of unfamiliar musical instrument, the brain becomes more plastic and flexible. According to Denton, one of the safest options is to study the different areas of mathematics — that science opens up opportunities for the development of the brain. Mathematics allow you to train logical, numerical and visual abstract thinking, while improving the skills of concentration and "mental stamina".
2. To communicate with well educated people.
Meetings and conversations with highly intelligent people can improve the work of his own brain. In the course of these conversations you can learn a lot, in addition, to understand the thinking of smart people is very useful.
3. Computer games can be used to train the intellect.
Games are different shooters and sports simulators allow you to have a good time and train response, but in terms of intellectual development they are not particularly useful. Denton recommends that you select games which needed the solution of complex problems and the adoption of numerous decisions. A physicist himself is a fan of the game EVE — in his opinion, it is the most complex and versatile of all computer games (game system operates on the most powerful gaming supercomputer called the Tranquility).
4. You need to read at least one serious book a week.
Denton advises not only regularly read serious books, but also to select authors from different genres. Reading allows you to expand your vocabulary and positively influences verbal intelligence also contributes to the development of learning.
5. Brain training with the help of special software.
Denton advises to use a special software for development of the brain, with a single caveat — you must apply it only confirmed its effectiveness services. Most of these projects are in reality not achieve the results that they promise their creators — often with their help, we can only learn to play a certain game, that does not transformered to the improvement of General cognitive abilities. However, the project is Dual N-Back can prove its effectiveness. Another positive thing — the game can be downloaded completely free of charge.
6. Important healthy lifestyle.
Sports have a positive impact on the brain, healthy and not too short sleep increases productivity (however, the "pouring" can be even more harmful than lack of sleep). It is important to approach the consumption of alcohol — in small quantities it helps to relax and communicate more freely — as already mentioned above, communication with other people is good for the brain. But excessive alcohol consumption (and Smoking) causes obvious harm to the body. In addition, for most efficient working of the brain needs proper nutrition. To obtain the necessary amount of nutrients the body can only with balanced diet a person should eat fruits, vegetables, fish and meat.
7. Need to get rid of limiting ideas about their own intellectual level.
Many people are actually smarter than they thought. Often modest relative to their mental abilities do not allow them to achieve more in life. This phenomenon is called "effect of Dunning-Kruger" — according to him, people with IQ below average, often overestimate their intelligence, while holders of an intelligence level above average, often underestimate their own abilities. To get rid of such attitude by using a simple logical refutation of the myths about their own inadequacy.
Denton cites the example of his friend — the girl is always very modestly estimated your intellectual level and worked as a regular Secretary, but once passed the test IQ organization Mensa, which brings together people with very high level of intelligence (its members pass an IQ test better than 98% of the population — the author of the post on Quora Steve Denton is in the organization). Later she received the degree of Professor of astrophysics, and live a happier life.
