Brain On!
2024 AXIOM AWARD WINNER in Business / Human Resources / Employee Training“This book dives deep into the prefrontal cortex and reintroduces us with vigor and joy to what is possible when we use our heads with intention.” —DANIEL H. PINK, #1 New York Times bestselling author
Are you ready to rewire your mind to be more energized, alert, and resilient each workday? Then BRAIN ON!
You have access to the single most powerful technology ever known–your brain. And yet, as incredible as that organ inside your head is, it hasn’t been upgraded since the beginning of time. Your brain is designed to keep you safe (thank you!), but it’s up to you to expand your operating system to be happy and productive in the office and at home.
Fear is the default when you’re not intentional about how you use your brain. This translates to overwhelm, distraction, burnout, and other workplace stressors. In Brain On!, award-winning thought leader in the area of human performance and health at work Deb Smolensky serves as your coach to retrain your brain through mental fitness strategies that will help you navigate the ever-changing and uncertain world in which we work. As one of the leading authorities on human performance and workplace well-being, Smolensky knows that just as our muscles need a program to get stronger, our brains need exercises to be more creative, innovative, and healthy.
Whether you are a proactive individual wanting to stay energized, efficient, and fulfilled or an organizational leader looking to improve your team’s culture and environment, this is your guide for optimizing your brain, winning the workday, and creating mentally strong workplaces.

“Deb is doing important work to make organizations of all types work better. We all accept that business performance is a function of human performance—but we don’t always invest in the mental health, aptitude, and skills of our people. Deb is working to change that. Her approach, to understand and strengthen the brain at work, is a critical input to better the health of our workforce and our businesses.” —ERIC LANGSHUR, Co-Founder and Managing Partner at Abundant Venture Partners
