Overview
Optimize your life using science-backed advice and discover how to get your brain working at peak efficiency. A FINANCIAL TIMES must-read business book of the month. A NEXT BIG IDEA CLUB must read book for September. We all know how to nudge our brains to perform better. 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? Today, most office workers are expected to operate with industrial-era efficiency. Yet the work that matters most in our technology-dominated workplace - generating brilliant ideas, solving complex problems, and learning - can't 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. Storoni explains that our brains function like a car's engine, with multiple gears that put our brains in optimal 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.

"""Hyperefficient is one of the smartest 'smart thinking' books that I have read. Mithu Storoni's description of the brain's 'gears' provides an exceptionally elegant metaphor of the mind's workings, and powerfully explains how we respond to the pressures of the Information Age. It is beautifully written and packed with practical advice that should transform the ways we work--and rest. Whatever challenges you are facing, this book will help you to thrive.""--David Robson, author of The Expectation Effect ""This is a very important and inspiring exploration and explanation of the mind, performance and our potential as human beings.
