A strong cup of coffee helps us get through a dull meeting, and a brisk walk helps us think more clearly. But what if some nudges could optimise how we focus, create and process information even more effectively, to take mental performance to new heights?<\/p>\n Today, most office workers are expected to operate with industrial-era efficiency. Yet the work that matters most in our technology-dominated workplace \u2013 generating brilliant ideas, solving complex problems, and learning \u2013 can\u2019t be manufactured like outputs on an assembly line. Instead, we need a new, HYPEREFFICIENT way of working: rather than imposing the rhythms of work on our brains, Dr. Mithu Storoni proposes we impose the rhythm of our brains on our work<\/span>.<\/p>\n Storoni explains that\u00a0our brains function like a car\u2019s engine, with multiple gears that put our brains in\u00a0optimal mode for different mental challenges. Drawing on the latest research, she shows us how to seamlessly shift our brains into the best gear for the tasks we need to be doing, so we can perform at our best throughout the day, every day.<\/p>\n “Read this book!
