Improve your powers of observation, memory, deduction and reasoning using the tricks and techniques of the world's most famous detective created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. In the last few years, that uptight, cold, sexless sleuth who inhabited the grimy streets of London, Sherlock Holmes, has become cool in the form of Robert Downey Jnr and Benedict Cumberbatch. In his own words: 'You know a conjurer gets no credit when once he has explained his trick and if I show you too much of my method of working, you will come to the conclusion that I am a very ordinary individual after all.' But of course he wasn't and our book gives a light-hearted and comprehensive exploration of the psyche, mental gymnastics and investigative techniques of the world's greatest consulting detective. Each section includes evidence from the original stories of Sherlock Holmes's mental processes, along with all sorts of information, advice and tips on how you can more closely resemble him. A liberal spattering of quizzes and exercises should serve to keep you on your toes as you go along. Do you have the personality and agile mind needed? Be alert to the world around you, read between the lines, think laterally, choose your friends wisely, accept good fortune, keep focussed, improve your deduction skills, obtain data, read the signs, master disguise, break the code, sift information and take a walk down memory lane. Complete with answers to all 19 quizzes. Topics also include mind palaces, non-verbal lies, lie detection, intuition, concentration, listening, alertness, relaxation, logic, speed reading, people watching and much more. 192pp, line art.
