This adaptogenic mushroom has a very cool name, doesn't it?
As a Nootropic, its effect is pretty subtle, I didn't note much of an uptick in cognition, but it does make you more energetic. I used it before the gym several times, resulting in some kickass workouts, but my go-to pre-workout supplements will remain HMB and Creatine. Over the past few weekends, my project has been cleaning out a very messy old attic of a bunch of dusty junk and furniture so I can transform it into my doomsday prepping storehouse. Cordyceps gave me a bit of extra physical energy to spend hours carrying stuff down five flights of stairs to the dumpster.

The primary problem with knowledge acquisition (or "learning" for those of you who don't want to use my cool new buzz phrase) is that it's expensive in the currencies of time, mental energy, and sometimes money.
Audio learning is a powerful weapon in the fight against the tyranny of high-cost (again, in terms of time and mental energy, primarily) information. The benefits of knowledge acquisition through audiobooks, programs, or podcasts include increased vocabulary, improved listening skills, boosted comprehension, and improved attention spans.
Tips for maximizing comprehension and information equity...

I downloaded HighIQPro, installed it, and launched the application. I began the first N-back exercise (of course, without reading any instructions!) and was immediately confused by a screen that a blinking red square sporadically appeared on. Not sure what to do I exited this game and went back to the main screen where I clicked the help icon.
This took me to a page on the HighIQPro website that instructed me to first take an IQ test and a Jouve-Cerebrals Test of Induction (JCTI) fluid intelligence test. I took a free 40-minute IQ test and scored 100. So as of May 1, 2012, I have a perfectly average IQ score for an American, I guess that makes me an ideal test subject for this case study. After the IQ test, I was a little frazzled, so I slept for a night before taking the JCTI test. I found the JCTI a little more challenging but ended up scoring 102, so I'm pretty damn average!

While I love "normal books," audiobooks are a tool in the Lifehacker's war chest for high-leverage learning and do offer some special benefits.
Notably, audiobooks help improve listening comprehension. By listening to audiobooks, one can improve their comprehension by hearing the language. Audio learning helps stimulate the imagination, increase reading fluency, and provide a model of proper pronunciation, sentence structure, and proper grammar. By hearing the language, the listeners build their vocabularies. Listening to books provides the listeners with an audio model and reference to pronounce words properly, create proper sentence structure, and improve grammar. Audiobooks improve comprehension through audio cues like tone, pauses, and pacing.
