Sharp: 14 Simple Ways to Improve Your Life with Brain Science -- Therese Huston, Hardcover

What if your best days weren't left to chance, but something you could control and activate at will? Most of us want to be a little happier, a little more focused, and a lot less stressed. We want simple approaches that are easy to fold into our everyday lives.

In Sharp, you'll discover dozens of evidence-backed strategies to help you unlock your potential and enhance your performance--whether at work, school, home, or in relationships. Cognitive scientist Therese Huston unpacks the latest neuroscience research to deliver a gold mine of techniques to help you feel your sharpest including:
  • How a calming deep breathing technique improves decision-making
  • Exactly what kind of exercise helps you think on your feet
  • What brain science says you should look for in a doctor, and
  • How to get focused on your most unfocused days.
Forget the tired advice of "get more sleep"--Sharp dives into more innovative, actionable tips that can make a difference in your daily routine. Best of all, many of them take five minutes or less.

Whether you want to make fewer mistakes, support your partner through life's challenges, or simply learn faster, Sharp gives you the tools to do it all, without having to overhaul your entire lifestyle. It's time to take charge of your mental and emotional well-being with science.

For anyone looking to be a little happier, a lot more productive, and far less stressed, Sharp offers the solutions you've been looking for.
