I finished Saving Your Brain the other day. Very scientific but without talking down to the reader. Not a lot of absolutes, but much good advice: moderate exercise (30 minute brisk walk/day), good diet (modified Mediterranean) and intellectual exercise (learning and, preferably, teaching).
Dr. Jeff Victoroff, the author, has impressive credentials. He does engage in Neo-Darwinist speculation from time to time. And there's a lot of neurophysiology, terms and details of brain chemistry that might intimidate the casual reader. But I have to say I really enjoyed it. Now if I can just remember this stuff long enough!
