"THE SCIENCE OF SMART" covers the range of intelligences that make us successful, from verbal and spatial to social and emotional and, through a series of exercises and how-to’s, you'll dive deep into the emerging techniques for boosting our brains across the realms (yes, you can boost your IQ as an adult!).  There was a time in the not-too-distant past when intelligence was associated almost exclusively with narrow IQ tests designed to predict who would succeed and who could not. That IQ score was said to be fixed. But just very recently, thanks to a revolution in cognitive neuroscience, experts now know that we have many kinds of intelligence (not all of them measured by old-style IQ tests), and that IQ itself can be enhanced. How we raise our children, how we spend our spare time, even our exercise, all serves to boost the cognitive brain. Included is an interactive quiz to find your creative style; create a workout program of physical exercise to boost your smarts; and take an in-depth test of your emotional intelligence. In addition, there are sample questions across the different areas of intelligence as well as a bona fide version of the Wonderlic test, which is today given widely to job applicants in Fortune 500 Companies and even the NFL. The good news is that new training techniques covered in this book can help anyone increase their scores and their performance in the world.

It's easy to feel overwhelmed by the newfound power of buying and using pot. So, first things first - here's a basic look at the plant. What is it? Where has it been? And how do you use it? Even if you consider yourself a pro, a little refresher could not hurt. As cannabis moves towards legalization and declining social stigma, the green rush has ignited an entrepreneurial spark and that means blazing new trails, and inspiring others. Entrepreneurs are known for heading out into uncharted territory with superhuman dedication. Add to that the grey area of working in the cannabis industry and you've got possibilities…challenging but feasible. One thing is for certain, women are flocking to the industry and don't mind working in high-risk, unchartered territory. Women are starting businesses, growing and extracting, working in real estate and the medical community. Today, at least 25% of executive-level roles in the industry are held by women and that is a slight edge over U.S. businesses as a whole (23%). However, when it comes to cannabis, it's rarely obvious what to do next in the ever-changing political, social and medical scene, and, traditionally a woman would have relied on herself when challenges arise. In this premium book, the power of personal narratives brings a better understanding to these complex issues. When asked to share their own stories within the context of the industry, the women on these pages made connections between their own biographies and the industry, and happily pass on that knowledge. Maybe the reader will see herself in these pages or perhaps she is still learning and unlearning. (Don't worry, we've got a primer for you!) Either way, readers will soon realize that they are not alone and there are resources to get more involved.
