Notes: "As the twenty first century moves towards its second decade, the search for mechanical perfection that prevailed until recently is beginning to fade in favor of the paradigm of functionality. We are experiencing a paradigm shift ... The aim of the first paradigm was to make things bigger, better, faster, and with a more efficient structure ... The new approach is an acceptance that things do not have to be perfect, and the new aim is to make things work, establish how and in what way, and accept the need to adapt to circumstances rather than insist on infallibility ... In terms of Brain Fitness, this pragmatic approach no longer relies on fix-the-weakness, but gives us strategies to build on what we can do in order to achieve our goals and choose how we want to operate. Consequently, the aim no longer is to pretend that age can be remediated by surgery or injections, but establish how we can perform well and improve our life span."--Preface.
