I'm only about 1/3rd through it but I doubt it's going to make anyone any faster. It's Skeptics Guide to the Universe. There's another one called Thinking Fast and Slow that is really interesting as well. They are both popular (as in written for the people) books based on psychology, economics and neuro-sciences, they aren't scientific books though.

They both focus on how the brain jumps to conclusions, makes irrational choices and tries to understand the world around us and how our behavior and choices can be influenced in pretty predictable ways.

On the neuro feedback treatment topic, when I was racing, I had a trainer at local gym/medical center where some local national/world level athletes trained. There was some pretty cool stuff there. They had these squat platforms that shake. Apparently the jiggling platform increased the effectiveness of squats. Loads of other stuff... Very interesting.
