Brain Power Puzzles — Inside Your Mind

Why do certain memories surface at just the right moment? What makes you act on one idea and set another aside? Brain Power Puzzles — Inside Your Mind by Son of Lord explores the psychology of everyday experience through accessible lessons and themed word search puzzles.

Each chapter introduces a topic from psychology, neuroscience or cognitive science. Read about the part attention plays in what you notice, how motivation relates to behaviour and how emotions enter into decisions. Other chapters explore learning, creativity, problem-solving, critical thinking, consciousness and self-awareness. Key terms give you a way to name processes you may already recognise in your own life.

After reading, find the vocabulary in the chapter’s word search. Use the words you uncover to return to the explanations and see which ideas you can put into your own words. You can work through the book in order or choose a topic that matches a question you’ve been thinking about.

This educational psychology puzzle book is for students, educators, lifelong learners and word search fans curious about thought and behaviour. Open to a chapter that interests you and discover the ideas behind the words you find.
