The Working Brain: Optimize Your Workday Performance

Your brain is the most impressive computing technology there ever has been. But you're almost certainly not using your brain at maximum efficiency--especially if you're treating it like a machine that you just need to push harder to get more out of.

Brynn Winegard, known to audiences as Dr. Brynn, brings her MBA and PhD backgrounds in business and neuroscience, along with years working with some of the world's top companies, to help you optimize your brain's effectiveness at work--and enjoy it more too. In The Working Brain, she shows you how you can get more from your brain by asking less from it.

In her lively, approachable, and well-informed style, Dr. Brynn cuts away the myths and leads you through your brain's actual workings, cycles, peaks and valleys, and needs: when to run hot and when to rest, when to focus and when to have fun, how to feed it well and manage its malfunctions, and why the 9-to-5 grind is the enemy of real productivity. Along the way, you'll learn things you can actually use from neuroscience, psychology, physiology, and interpersonal neurobiology, with real, practical, tangible tips, tricks, tools, and techniques for how to rethink and customize your workday, use your brain better, and unlock your full hidden potential to be more productive, feel more motivated, and perform at your peak.
