An interesting overview of the current state of the science of intelligence. The author wants to make the point that intelligence can be enhanced, but that we haven't begun to understand what efforts will or will not make a difference. As a result, his quest to up his own IQ a few points is not such an engaging story, since neither he nor the scientists he interviews have any idea before or after his efforts what helped and what didn't. That made the personal angle a little weak.
