Book Summary

Smarter (2013) by Dan Hurley explores the emerging science that challenges the belief that intelligence is fixed. Hurley delves into groundbreaking research—such as the 2008 Jaeggi–Buschkuehl study—showing that targeted mental exercises (e.g., N‑Back) can significantly improve fluid intelligence, the ability to solve new problems . Combining interviews with top researchers, scrutiny of brain‑training tools, and personal self‑experiments—from boot‑camp workouts and lute lessons to mindfulness and even brain stimulation—Hurley reports a 16% boost in his fluid IQ over three months
