Description
Using the latest insights from neuroscience about how our mind works and what really makes us tick, Make Your Brain Work explains how to be more effective in the workplace and to get maximum impact from minimum effort.
Author Amy Brann is an expert in brain science, and she has distilled its key findings into non-technical, practical guidance. She presents an entirely different type of training: training based on the science of the mind. Offering soft skills training through the lens of neuroscience, her engaging book helps readers discover how to function at the top of their capabilities and learn the habits, techniques and behaviors that will get positive results. Challenges addressed include: frustration with management, work-life balance, motivating people and achieving goals. Make Your Brain Work shows readers how to leave stress, negative moods and poor time management behind and become more efficient at work.
Advance Praise
"Make Your Brain Work is an engaging book that is simultaneously filled
with insight and application. Amy Brann not only provides us with greater
understanding on how the brain works but she also gives us useful tools on how
to make the brain work for each of us." --Stephen M. R. Covey,
author of The New York Times and # 1 Wall Street Journal bestselling book,
The Speed of Trust, and coauthor of Smart Trust

"Make Your Brain Work is the first book to take cutting-edge neuroscience and apply it to improving one's ability to be successful, and to feel successful, at work. Using a lively set of characters that illustrate not just what to do to improve the brain at work, but how to do it. Readers of Make Your Brain Work will undoubtedly be more productive and happier at work and at home." --Paul J. Zak, PhD, Author of The Moral Molecule: The Source of Love and Prosperity, Founding Director of the Center for Neuroeconomics Studies at Claremont Graduate University
"If you are looking to master your life, you must master the use of your brain. Amy Brann has successfully put together today's easy to read and understand instruction manual for your brain. Read this book, master your brain and master your life." --Louis Lautman, Executive Producer of The YES Movie
"Make Your Brain Work brings neuroscience to life. Explaining how common challenges can be overcome through understanding what is really going on in your brain and the minds of others enables readers to make small changes that can ultimately make life more enjoyable. Easy to read and thoroughly beneficial to implement." --Scott Martineau, CEO ConsciousOne.com

"Make your Brain Work is different! It is literally packed to the brim with insights, tools, approaches and techniques that cover a whole spectrum of areas that have helped me.

"This book is full of great stuff, like a delicious Pret recipe your brain needs nutritious food and new knowledge to grow." --Ian Watson, Head of Pret Academy
"Make Your Brain Work was essential bedtime reading for a couple of nights, and I have found the concepts genuinely very interesting and thought provoking, and a challenging read. It really does become a manual for trying to better understand what influences and motivates others, and how these issues need to be better understood and harnessed. It is not often that the concept of "overwhelm" can be introduced into morning discussions of premiership football and office politics but it is now." --Nick Green, Managing Partner of Squire Sanders Birmingham office
