  • Two-time WSOP World Series of Poker Circuit champion Lena Evans reveals how mental acuity, focus, patience, emotional discipline, and knowledge can slow brain aging. Lena explores how a poker powered brain can improve your cognitive skills by enhancing decision making, critical and strategic thinking, and create deeper intuition. Poker is a sport for the active mind! The founder of Jade Phoenix, a San Diego-based community organization dedicated to helping other nonprofits, Lena Evans also has a side interest - playing poker. She is a two-time World Series of Poker circuit champion, and recently started teaching young adults how mind sports can sharpen their focus when it comes to multitasking, strategic thinking and other skills. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
