 what are your throughts on cognitive enhancers? They are called smart pills or brain boosters or, to use the preferred pharmaceutical term, cognitive enhancers. I recently came across your website, Steve and love it! I even emailed you thanking you in regards to how perfect I thought your 10 reasons not to get a job article was. You seem to have a great view when it comes to personal development. Do you have any views regarding substances such as these? http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main...8/ndrugs18.xml is a link to one of the many articles about it that I am sure your already aware of. I haven't taken a look at any specific yet but I am pretty sure I would be open to using them.      |

 I think the comparison to coffee is good. You get some temopary benifits but it messes you up. At the present the there isn't enough research to be effective at selecting benitial "cognitive enhancers". That may change in the future but at the moment I won't take anything.

| I'm really glad to be here Usually those cognitive enhancement pills are just helping to get more oxygen to the brain with the idea that more oxygen (resources) that you're brain will take advantage of that. Just my opinion, I think they do work to some degree but I would use the cheap stuff. Last edited by touch0ph : 12-26-2007 at 07:44 AM. |
