Officials from Nintendo of Europe have announced that Australian actress Nicole Kidman will front the advertising campaign for More Brain Training from Dr Kawashima: How Old Is Your Brain?, with a pan-European campaign replacing endorsements for the original game from local celebrities in each country.

The Oscar winning actress, known for starring roles in movies such asThe Hours and Moulin Rouge, will appear in both print and televisionadvertising in Europe, promoting a sixty day brain exercise program forMore Brain Training, which launches across Europe on the Nintendo DS on June 29th. The game is due for release in North America on August 20th, as Brain Age 2: More Training in Minutes a Day.

The television advertisements will begin this week, with Kidman seen athome using the console and playing the various mini-games. Nintendo ofEurope claim that Kidman was chosen for the campaign because of her“universal appeal to mainstream audiences of all ages and backgrounds,as well as her reputation for being intelligent, entertaining andgenuine.”

Sales for both Brain Training games combined have alreadyexceeded 10 million units worldwide and have proven to be the mostsuccessful of Nintendo’s Touch!

Recommended Reading To Improve Your Mind

What self-improvement books should you read?  There are literally tens of thousands of self-improvement books on the market. So you have an infinite selection to choose from.  Some of my favorites are "Think and Grow Rich," by Napoleon Hill. "The Magic of Thinking Big," by David J. Schwartz and "Psycho Cybernetics," by Maxwell Maltz.These self-improvement books are all-time classics and should be part of everyone's personal library. Speaking of libraries, you can find these classics in virtually every library and bookstore in the world.My favorite of the aforementioned self-improvement books is Napoleon Hill's "Think and Grow Rich." There's just something strangely magical about that book. When you begin to read it, a sudden calmness comes over you. You develop a quiet sort of confidence. It's hard to explain really. But when you read the book, you'll see exactly what I mean. But it really is magical.Now it's not enough to just read self-improvement books. After you read them, you also have to take action and do exactly what the books tell you to do. Otherwise, reading them is merely an exercise in futility.In closing, success is within the grasp of everyone, if you only just reach out and grab it!

Personal Self-Improvement Combined With Motivation Is Essential

Personal self-improvement together with motivation is the only way to get the most out of life and to attain the very best you are capable of achieving.

Most of us make do with a very poor second best and just drift through life going from one crisis to the next without ever realising there is a much better way to live our lives.

We all see people who are rich and famous or at the top of their profession and we say how lucky they are. The difference between them and us is that they have taken control of their lives instead of just meandering through life, like us, with no definite aim or goal in mind.

What ever your situation is now, there is nothing but the negative thoughts in your mind stopping you from achieving a great improvement in your life.

The first obstacle to overcome is to really believe that you are capable of achieving far more than you have in the past. Take a little time to think about what you would like out of life. Maybe it is a better relationship with someone or perhaps you would like to get a better job or start you own business. What about owning a bigger house in a better neighbourhood, or buying a new car or just earning a much bigger income.

All these things are possible given a bit of time but this sort of improvement is only possible if you follow the tried and tested methods. You must make a plan for your future and you need to get the relevant help and information to reach your goals.
