Informative & useful

The book is well-structured with plenty of data and narrated well. It has actionable items, not just theories.

the narrative voice is monotonous

not really engaging while the contents are very interesting but not that much enticing .

Must Read for Leaders Across the World

This is a must read 4 L around the world… If not anyone with a brain. Such incredible concepts brought down on a tangible level and distilled sufficiently for the average reader. Modern science, integrated in a way that we can all understand is what will help you all this world to be a better place not only to work, to live, but also to lead.

mostly right with some egregious errors

well it's solid and has a lot of decent neuroscientific information and did teach me a lot they apparently even in 2015 should have known as neuroscientists that short-term memory is 4 + or - 1 not 7 plus or minus 2 and that multitasking is a myth they seem to know neither and that's a major issue coming from a book That's supposed to have been written an authored by neuroscientists finally their first mention of heb's law neurons that wire together fire together is completely backwards in terms of the causality of that very fundamental and important order which they get correct in the rest of the book overall three out of five for having some sloppy or incorrect Neuroscience that they should have been able to and the data was there for them to correct in at the date of publication

Practical insights into scientific leadership

Highly recommended to those who are still managing with their guts without knowing it. Filled with great examples.

Brilliant Book on complex subjects made relatable...

Beautifully written. Brilliant Author. After seeing her on Diary of a CEO I became enamored in a way. She's an idol in a way to me, for a lack of better wording as I am not a writer myself. Beautifully Brilliant British Neuroscientist Tara Swart puts such a vast amount of knowledge at your fingertips, literally. This is sure to be one to reread repeatedly. love.

she tells me what she's gonna tell me

what the he'll? I'm 2 chapters in and she keeps telling me what the book is going to be about. why not also hire a narrator to tell me how she tells it, while she's at it. this is getting exhausting. not a lot of take away so far. will re-rate later. stop convincing me to read a book I already have. please. you're wasting my time.
