Well, that title from the Psychology Today blogs got my attention.

Not sure about the getting laid part, but the rest is pretty true. Stanton Peele is essentially offering some very useful alternatives to all the new "cognitive" games out on the market to prevent mental decline in aging. If we actually have a life, we don't the special products - living takes care of it for us.

Here are his suggestions, from Taking life seriously: How to preserve your mind, raise intellectual children, be a constructive citizen, and get laid more:

1. Discuss TV shows, movies, and plays.

2. Talk about the world with your family.

3. Practice asking questions.

4. Think about people.

5. Remember: thinking is fun.

Go read the post to find out more about each suggestion.
