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This book is not about raising an outdated and flawed statistic about how intelligent you are.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.
