    Forget the IQ tests and tweak those parts of intelligence that matter most to real world success.

    BEYOND IQ is filled with simple pen-and-paper exercises that will help you:
    –teach your mind to hear that “eureka” moment of insight
    –improve your problem-solving skills
    –use divergent thinking to boost your creativity

    –avoid the cognitive “blinkering” that too often comes with expertise
    –expand your working memory
