Read Better, Remember More (Basics Made Easy) by Elizabeth L. Chesla

Whether you're studying for an exam, making your way through an instructional manual on the job, keeping up with work-related magazines and newspaper articles, or just coping with everyday situations in life, reading often makes the difference between success and failure. But it isn't how fast you read that's important. It's how well you understand what you read and how much of it you remember.

That is why guides to "reading faster" are of little practical use to you. In these pages you'll find easy-to-use techniques to help you remember more of what you read than you ever thought possible.

The Complete Idiot's Guide to Improving Your IQ by Richard G./ Alpha Group (Edt)/ Politis Pellegrino

The Complete Idiot's Guide to Improving Your IQ by Richard G./ Alpha Group (Edt)/ Politis Pellegrino is one of the excellent IQ books for everybody without any doubt. The Complete Idiot's Guide to Improving Your IQ helps lots of people to strengthening their IQ. It builds your IQ mind and many more.

It's hard to choose where to begin my praise of this wonderful book... I suppose I'll address the other reviewers compaints first. The book openly states in the first couple of chapters that IQ really is an absurd statistic... the tests were originally designed to determine if a person was mentally handicapped, not to determine how intelligent they were. Besides, if a person walks into a flaming building to take an IQ test, they will obviously score higher than the person who doesn't. However, who would you consider more intelligent?
This book is not about raising an outdated and flawed statistic about how intelligent you are. It's about making you a more intelligent person.
The book addresses the facets of intelligence that many books on the subject utterly neglect. For instance, mood - how well can one intelligently act when they're depressed, sad, and otherwise run-down? Not very well at all, obviously. But I have never seen this simple yet extremely important factor mentioned in any other book.
