-Joanne Koening-Coste, from the foreword

"Strengthen Your Mind is first and foremost a handy book of more than 70 ready-made exercises on a broad variety of topics that should be widely appealing and not just to those who have early memory loss … [the] activities take us back in time [and] … provide endless opportunities for reminiscence and tangential discussion."
