About this listen

Are you smart, scattered, and struggling? You're not alone. Cutting-edge research shows that today's 24/7 wired world and the growing demands of work and family life may simply max out the part of the brain that manages complex tasks. That's especially true for those lacking strong executive skills - the core brain-based abilities needed to maintain focus, meet deadlines, and stay cool under pressure.

In this essential guide, leading experts Peg Dawson and Richard Guare help you map your own executive skills profile and take effective steps to boost your organizational skills, time management, emotional control, and nine other essential capacities.

This book so many practical strategies than most books on the same topic. Not to mention the models in the book are multidimensional and integrative in nature.
The stratified in the book can be even used to assess workers and their capabilities in meeting their tasks.

Best book of its kind

I found the tone of this book so patronising and the case studies so far fetched I didn’t make it past chapter 4. Really disappointed after reading such good reviews.
