The New Mises Academy

This blog is about learning and right now, in particular, learning Austrian Economics. The wonderful mises.org has just announced a Mises Academy. There is an article about the context of this announcement. They are already offering a class that sounds very interesting. It is about understanding the business cycle. This Academy is definitely something to keep your eye on!

Mental exercise is important too

Everyone knows that they should eat right and exercise. Whether we do it or not, we know that we should. Something people don't think about as much is mental exercise. Especially as you get older, you need to 'use it or lose it'. If you do the same things every day, your brain, like your muscles, can get lazy. I use a website called lumosity.com to do brain exercises and I have noticed a definite difference. The need for mental exercise is also why I continue to try to learn new things. I've studied Latin, and learned to knit. Now I am studying Austrian economics and keeping my brain agile while learning. What are you doing to keep your brain fit?
