The Brain Gym - Volume 2

Solving puzzles helps reinforce existing connections between our brain cells. It also increases the generation of new relationships. This, in turn, improves mental speed and thought processes. Puzzles require us to take different approaches to try and solve a problem since there's a lot of trial and error involved. We also learn the value of formulating theories, testing hypotheses, and changing our perspectives when something doesn't work out according to plan. So, if you are looking to strengthen your memory, improve your problem-solving skills, give your mood a boost through your brain's increased production of dopamine and improve your personal productivity, then solving puzzles is the way to go.
