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. Winner of the BUSINESS BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARD 2025. 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.

Harness your brain’s full power
This book, combined with Mihalyi Csikzentmihalyi’s “Flow’, taps into how we can take control of how we think and design our days and our life for optimal living. Storoni outlines how our work lives which were established during the Industrial Revolution are not designed for optimal use of our brains, and by continuing to work in these patterns, not only do we not tap into our full potential, we put ourselves at risk for higher stress and burnout. Fortunately, Storoni provides many practical and evidence-based practices that we can all incorporate to change how we approach problems and work, so that we can maximize our brains’ awesome capacity. I highly recommend this book for anyone obsessed with learning to perform at their best.

Very informative for the lay person.
I spotted two dozen tips to pass to our teenage students. On the other hand, it was a bit wordy in some cases.

Disapointing that there wasnt more of it
I hadn't looked at the page length before purchasing so after reading through the whole book in under an hour I found myself rather disapointed. The print length is 198 pages but if you ignore the acknowledgements and citations it comes in around 170 pages. At the price of the kindle edition I felt ripped off. Its frustrating because I enjoyed the writing but I wanted it to me much more substantial with more examples of research. If anything the evidence for the self-help advice in the book was rather flimsy and it wasn't detailed enough to make it a good popular science book. As a self help book it wasn't really great either because much of the advice you would find elsewhere and it doesn't have the endless repetition of a self help book that would help cement the ideas in place. Frankly I find some of the 5 star reviews quite baffling and I think I am being generous with three stars.
