Writing a how-to chapter

 

For some reason I am finding it fiendishly difficult to structure the chapters in my current how-to book.
I think I found an answer this morning. While reading the Vancouver Sun, I came across a brilliantly structured article by Rick Steves, Plot Your Way Through Europe via smartphone.
Steves uses this structure:

• Interesting opening
• Problem stated personally
• Solution 1
• Solution 2 
• Solution 3 etc.
• Upbeat ending

It could work!!

Dr Daniel Amen's program for brain health

Dr Daniel Amen claims that diet, exercise, and intellectual challenge can delay onset of Alzheimer's symptoms.

Four links to articles and books describing Dr Daniel Amen's work...

1. A web page with a good summary of Dr Daniel Amen's program  for brain health. He claims his program will delay onset of Alzheimer's by six years. Since 50% of people show Alzheimer's symptoms by age 85, the idea of delaying onset of symptoms is a good thing.

2. A mildly technical book on Alzheimer's research Preventing Alzheimer's: Ways to Help Prevent, Delay, Detect, and Even Halt Alzheimer's Disease and OtherForms of Memory Loss [Paperback]

 3. His recent bestseller on slowing the aging process: Use Your Brain to Change Your Age: Secrets to Look, Feel, and Think Younger Every Day [Hardcover]

4. A review of Dr. Amen's PBS presentation.
