Looking for a new way to see your life?

Fed up with the same old, boring stories you hear at dinners and get-togethers?

If you are ready to expand your thinking and enjoy a good laugh, you have chosen the right puzzle book!

Changing how you think about a problem and supporting your brain health does not need to be hard or boring. After reading the puzzles in this book, you will probably find that it is much more fun that you thought it would be!

First described in the late 1960s, lateral thinking emerged as a way to approach a situation or a problem in a non-vertical, illogical way. It encourages the participants to think about the situation, not in the step-by-step process of traditional reason, but to look at all the different possibilities, even when they are absurd!

Various studies have shown that challenging your reasoning skills in this manner can help you activate parts of your brain that are not often engaged. This extra engagement leads to a healthier state of mind, and even just encouraging you to laugh and smile a bit more. When a scenario is wildly different than the "norm," most people's natural reaction is to laugh or smile at it. Because every story and puzzle in this book offers a unique solution to the situation, you are sure to get some smiling done!

Below are several of the highlights you will find inside this book:

        Whimsical stories told with engaging situations and characters.

        Absurd solutions that are plausible, but definitely unusual!

        Silly math equations encouraging you to think outside the traditional, two-dimensional realm.

        More than 20 puzzles outlining realistic situations with unbelievable answers.

        A couple of one-liners that are great for pulling out at parties and special occasions-sure to generate a laugh.

        A couple of morbid stories and scenarios that will make you laugh, but feel a little guilty about it.

And so much more!
