Book Review by Ed Ladd

One of my golfing buddies explained to me a few months ago that he had purchased a pushcart for golf and had started walking every round of golf instead of riding in the golf cart because of what he read in “this book” by Sanjay Gupta.  I quickly looked up the book when I got home.  Any book that can impact a person enough to change their behavior must be worth a read I thought, so I quickly ordered the book, and am glad that I did.

Keep Sharp takes a three-prong approach to brain health.  The first section examines how the brain works and what current research is discovering about the brain’s function and health.  Section Two explores what one can do to maintain and improve brain health, and Section Three discusses in detail dementia and Alzheimer’s and the research being done to combat these declines in brain functioning.  When I finished reading this book, my first thought was this was something that I should have read thirty years ago, and my second thought was I am glad that I read it now.  Let me explain.

I give a quick overview of all three sections of this book. Please click here for the full review:
