BRAIN HACKS

“Rarely do we find texts so clear and full of practical examples as Brain Hacks, which serves both the layperson and the professional. This is my position as a psychologist who works with autistic people and as the father of an attentionally divergent daughter: the theme of "executive functions" occupies my reflections daily. The work of Lara Honos-Webb has advanced in the field of neurodiversity.”―Ernesto Reaño, author of The Return to the Village; Neurodiversity, Autism, and Electronality

“Brain Hacks is enlightening, positive, comforting, encouraging and action-oriented, with the goal of improving our attention, focus, and executive functioning. Lara Honos-Webb guides the reader with strategies on how to get in touch with―and celebrate―achievements, improvements, and strengths in our executive functioning. Not a subject or topic for self-improvement is left out.”―Robin Goldstein, PhD, Johns Hopkins University

“Brain Hacks is a godsend for our fragmented, attention-deficit-disordered culture.

Her book is filled with practical strategies, checklists, questionnaires, and vital information to help readers stay cool and calm under pressure, set goals, maintain focus, and keep their heads on straight when all around them are losing theirs. Buy Brain Hacks and get your life under control at last!”―Thomas Armstrong, Ph.D. author of The Myth of the ADHD Child: 101 Ways to Improve Your Child’s Behavior and Attention Span Without Drugs, Labels, or Coercion

"Executive functioning is a big deal. It determines how much control you have over your life and whether you'll be able to live up to your maximum creative potential. The genius of Brain Hacks is that it breaks down the ambitious project of improving executive function into manageable, memorable, and supremely practical steps. Brain Hacks will enable you to become a more effective version of you."―Steve Silberman, author of NeuroTribes: The Legacy of Autism and the Future of Neurodiversity

“Brain Hacks is easy-to-read and understand; it explains so much and inspires even more. As a psychotherapist, I thought I fully understood executive functioning, and was pretty happy with my own, given my ADHD challenges. But Brain Hacks offers a whole new world of opportunity to address those nagging issues that limit your personal effectiveness and life satisfaction. Regardless of the individual issues that challenge us, strategically improving our executive functioning empowers us to make real progress. I’m keeping this book with me and will consult it regularly as I move beyond my previously held self-limiting beliefs and behaviors. Thank-you, Dr. Honos-Webb!”―Neil D Brown, LCSW, author of Ending The Parent-Teen Control Battle, and host of the Healthy Family Connections podcast
