About this audiobook
What if the route to better brain power is not hard work or thousands of hours of practice but to simply swallow a pill? In The Genius Within, bestselling author David Adam explores the ground-breaking neuroscience of cognitive enhancement. Sharing his own experiments with revolutionary smart drugs and electrical brain stimulation, he delves into the sinister history of intelligence tests and reveals how he boosted his own IQ to cheat his way into Mensa.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Just goes to say .. being called intelligent or having a piece of paper or metric that says so doesn’t amount to much, it’s what you actually do with that intelligence that’s what actually stands for something.. all round Great listen though
