Step 1 : Download the brush file to ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CS6/Presets/Brushes.

Step 2: Open Photoshop and open up a document.

Step 3: Click the Brush tool, then click the sized brush, then the small arrow and hit ‘Load Brushes’, choose the brushes you want and then hit OK.

The brushes should now appear in your list and be able to be selected and used. They should also appear the next time you fire up Photoshop.

Hope that Helps!

I keep a copy of all my brushes in a folder outside of Photoshop.  Photoshop updates seem to come round so quickly, it's just plain quicker if you keep all those extras, that you have collected over the years, readily to hand. 

Fonts

Brushes

Shapes

Custom gradients.

Patterns
Textures

Styles

Actions

Scripts

It is important to use the correct folder, as Arpit wrote it (the one in your user profile) as the other location will not be used for automatic presets migration/import-export: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/979607?tstart=0
