If, like so many of us, you have days where you feel like your brain is slowly turning to mush, then what better way to get the synapses firing again than a short mental workout?

Brainfit: 10 Minutes a Day for a Sharper Mind and Memory, by adult learning specialist Corinne Gediman, is described as a "fun, flexible, and immediately rewarding 9-week training program designed to improve both your memory and your mental agility."
