  • The resources for this podcast are the same as those for episode 24, except for one book which others have recommended and which I am reading right now and it’s quite interesting. It’s called The Mature Mind by Gene Cohen. The Mature Mind: The Positive Power of the Aging Brain

  • Discover Magazine had a wonderful special issue devoted specifically to the brain called “The Brain: An Owner’s Manual.” It appeared on June 30, 2007. Click here to go to the Discover Website. Look under the “Mind & Brain” tab for lots of other psychology related resources.
