How to Optimise Your Brain and Transform the Way You Work

Dr Mithu Storoni In Conversation With Hannah MacInnes

Dr Mithu Storoni shares a fresh and original approach to working efficiently with our minds.

We are expected to operate with industrial-era efficiency at work. 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 way of working. Our brains function like a car’s engine, with multiple gears that put the brain in optimal mode for different mental challenges. In this AI age, that engine needs a new kind of drive. To produce excellence, it must also work according to its own rhythm. In her new book Hyperefficient, physician and neuroscience researcher Mithu Storoni describes how to find that drive, get in the right mental gear, and work to a precise rhythm as you create, solve, and learn.

Now Dr Storoni joins How To Academy to reveal how to curate the best mental ecosystem for learning, creativity, and problem-solving.

We can all learn to thrive amidst the deluge of digital information and become ‘hyper efficient’ – whether at work, at home, or in life more widely.
