Riddles can make you happy!
Puzzles have always captured people’s imagination—from the riddles devised by the ancient Greeks to the invention of crossword puzzles a century ago and the modern-day craze for escape rooms. What is it about racking our brains that we find so enjoyable? Do quizzes make us sociable? Do puzzles train our memory or even help us get to sleep? What triggers a state of flow? And what does it set off in our brain? These are the mysteries examined by Stefan Heine, Germany’s leading deviser of puzzles. His findings are as exciting as they are entertaining and come garnished with unique personal stories from the topsy-turvy world of riddles. This is a book for anyone who enjoys a good riddle or who is looking to understand what all the fuss is about.
