Push your brain to full power, for success at the office and at home

Would you like more control over your life and your work?

Would you like greater stamina as you carry out your daily tasks?

How about more significance and meaning as you move forward in your career?

Scott Halford shows us how we can all find these things if we simply understand how to activate the full potential of the brain. This incredible organ is still full of mystery, but we know enough to harness its power better than ever before. We just have to recognize how the brain works, and understand the actions we can take to help it perform at its best.
Combining research, anecdote, and inspiration, Activate Your Brain shows you how small steps toward better brain function and management can eventually lead to success on a whole new level. Each chapter offers “Activations”—exercises that help optimize your brain function to . . .
• increase your focus,
• build self-confidence and willpower,
• manage distractions,
• reduce negative stress,
• collaborate effectively with others,
• and much more.

In the end, Activate Your Brain is an indispensable collection of practical things you need to know about your wonderful brain—which, when fully harnessed, can give you more of the fulfilled life you seek.

Awards & Endorsements

Amy Cosper, editor-in-chief, Entrepreneur magazine
''A very insightful read. One of the most subtle, beautiful lessons Mr. Halford explains is the neuroscience business connection in the modern world. There is an undeniable and direct correlation between your brain and your success--as a human being and as a business leader. Read it, and you'll be better at both business and life.''
Doug Parker, CEO of American Airlines
''Scott's understanding of neuroscience is a great complement to his years of experience as an emotional intelligence and leadership thought leader. I have worked with Scott for over ten years, and he has been extremely helpful to the entire leadership team at American Airlines. Delivered with the same humor and wit he displays in his speeches and presentations, Activate Your Brain is the first book I would recommend for those looking to improve their performance--both at work and in life.''
Mark Sanborn, international best-selling author of The Fred Factor and You Don't Need a Title to Be a Leader
''Scott Halford isn't just a smart guy; he's a smart guy who can make you smarter. He uses neuroscience--not pop psychology--and makes complex concepts understandable and actionable. Few of us are using our brains to their full potential. This book will help you use yours far better.''
