About this listen

Award-winning science writer David Adam reveals how frontier neuroscience can enhance your intelligence.

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, best-selling author David Adam explores the groundbreaking 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.

From the Sunday Times best-selling author of The Man Who Couldn't Stop.

Critic Reviews

"Witty, sharp and enlightening.... This book will make you smarter." (Adam Rutherford)
All stars
Most relevant
This book is as intriguing as the brain is! It describes the wonderous journey cognitive enhancement has taken over the years and also kind of helps people who are looking for means to do it. The performance of the book is good and I recommend the audiobook over reading it because reading facts is quite taxing.(atleast for me!)
