For example, you can learn how to play golf.
One study showed that if you take a group of people and show them how to play golf, you give them 72 hours of golf lessons, and you have a control group
who does not get this brain training or golf training.
And then they look at their brain after three or six months, you can see that the parts of their cortex and hippocampus in the group that learned how to play golf increased.
the areas which were important for hand-eye coordination and control of arm movements increased in volume in three to six months.
So I always tell people, find something you enjoy.
And there's like a list of 20 things I suggest at the end of the chapter on the mindset in my book.
And so, you know, do those things or take a dance lesson or, you know, learn a new language or do something you enjoy.
Yes, I think that would be similar to a light walk because when you're listening while you're driving, as you mentioned, it's a passive learning.
However, if you're listening to French lessons, which sometimes I do when I drive, now I am really using my brain because I'm memorizing words.
I am actively involved with the process of, you know, learning or improving my French.
So I think...
Listening to podcasts or listening to e-books are great.
They're engaging your brain.
You're paying attention.
You're sustaining your attention.
And that's a good thing.
It's similar to a light walk as opposed to going for a run or doing half marathon.
Yes, because reading a book, you're more engaged.
You're actually looking, reading, and you're all focused on it.
