Reviews

""The human brain is the most complex structure in the known universe - yet most of us never learn how to use it as well as we might. Amy Brann changes that with Make Your Brain Work, translating cutting-edge neuroscience into practical strategies that work. She teaches us that when we honour how our minds actually function, both performance and well-being improve. We have one brain and it determines our entire experience of life. This book shows you how to make the most of yours."" * Marc Zao-Sanders, CEO, Filtered Technologies, author of Timeboxing * ""High performance is a choice, it's an opt-in, not a dip-in. In thisbook, Amy addresses how to be accountable for our own performance,to notice and adapt our behaviours and how to set ourselves up to reach our full potential."" * Nigel Redman, Director of Performance Team Development, RFU * ""Unlocking your full potential is at the heart of the purpose at Recordati. As a pharmaceutical company our purpose is 'unlocking the full potential of life'. I like to believe that the passion for this is at the heart of our success as a company. Amy has helped us to unlock our own full potential by better understanding our brain, by shedding light on how our brain can get in the way. The Insights Amy provides have helped me to get more out of myself, our people, and our company. This is not a new trick but really provides tools to unleash potential and embark on a life-long growth and learning journey."" * Rob Koremans, MD, CEO Recordati * ""As the world gets increasingly complex, ambiguous and fast paced, Make Your Brain Work provides an essential set of practical tips, based on scientific research, on how to navigate through and understand what is really going on in our heads!"" * Simon Brown, Global Learning & Development Leader and Partner, Talent Team, EY * ""A game-changer for anyone trying to succeed in a high-pressure, distraction-filled world. Practical, science-backed, and deeply human."" * Irina Iashvili, Director of Professional Development, ICF Singapore *
