Ambidexterity and Mental Culture is a book written by Henry Macnaughton-Jones and published in 1914. The book explores the concept of ambidexterity and how it can be used to develop mental skills and enhance cognitive abilities.

The book begins by discussing the history of ambidexterity and its role in human evolution. Macnaughton-Jones then goes on to explain how ambidexterity can be achieved through various exercises and techniques, including using both hands for everyday tasks and practicing specific exercises designed to improve hand-eye coordination and motor skills. The author also delves into the psychological benefits of ambidexterity, such as increased creativity, improved memory, and enhanced problem-solving abilities. He argues that by training oneself to be ambidextrous, one can develop a more balanced and integrated brain, leading to greater mental clarity and focus. Overall, Ambidexterity and Mental Culture is a thought-provoking book that explores the potential benefits of ambidexterity for mental development. It is an interesting read for anyone interested in the workings of the human brain and how to improve cognitive function.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
