"Brain Hacks is a godsend for our fragmented,
attention-deficit-disordered culture. Dr. Honos-Webb describes the
role of our executive functions, which people absolutely must have
in order to stay on track and above the fray. Her book is filled
with practical strategies, checklists, questionnaires, and vital
information to help readers stay cool and calm under pressure, set
goals, maintain focus, and keep their heads on straight when all
around them are losing theirs. Buy Brain Hacks and get your life
under control at last!"--Thomas Armstrong, Ph.D. author of The Myth
of the ADHD Child: 101 Ways to Improve Your Child's Behavior and
Attention Span Without Drugs, Labels, or Coercion
"Brain Hacks is enlightening, positive, comforting, encouraging and
action-oriented, with the goal of improving our attention, focus,
and executive functioning. Lara Honos-Webb guides the reader with
strategies on how to get in touch with--and
celebrate--achievements, improvements, and strengths in our
executive functioning. Not a subject or topic for self-improvement
is left out."--Robin Goldstein, PhD, Johns Hopkins University
"Dr. Honos-Webb has written a wonderful book to help people
identify which areas of executive functioning they want to improve,
and then teaches them strategies to do just that. With its
straightforward language and exercises, Brain Hacks provides us all
with ways to develop helpful building blocks to improve our lives
at work and at home."--Dr. Robin Rosenberg, The People Expert
Executive Coaching Services "Brain Hacks is easy-to-read and
understand; it explains so much and inspires even more. As a
psychotherapist, I thought I fully understood executive
functioning, and was pretty happy with my own, given my ADHD
challenges. But Brain Hacks offers a whole new world of opportunity
to address those nagging issues that limit your personal
effectiveness and life satisfaction. Regardless of the individual
issues that challenge us, strategically improving our executive
functioning empowers us to make real progress. I'm keeping this
book with me and will consult it regularly as I move beyond my
previously held self-limiting beliefs and behaviors. Thank-you, Dr.
Honos-Webb!"--Neil D Brown, LCSW, author of Ending The Parent-Teen
Control Battle, and host of the Healthy Family Connections
podcast
"Executive functioning is a big deal. It determines how much
control you have over your life and whether you'll be able to live
up to your maximum creative potential. The genius of Brain Hacks is
that it breaks down the ambitious project of improving executive
function into manageable, memorable, and supremely practical steps.
Brain Hacks will enable you to become a more effective version of
you."--Steve Silberman, author of NeuroTribes: The Legacy of Autism
and the Future of Neurodiversity
"I am loving Brain Hacks! This efficient little book offers the
clearest descriptions of the executive functions that I've read,
and contains a treasure trove of ideas and strategies for helping
you become "the boss of your life." This book isn't just for people
diagnosed with executive function problems or ADHD, but for anyone
who wants to bring more sanity and mastery to our frenetic world.
This book would make a perfect graduation present!"--Heather
Clague, MD, Psychiatrist
"Lara Honos-Webb's clever book Brain Hacks will increase your
happiness, productivity, and success while reducing stress along
the way. My favorite brain hack: "Take a Nature Break." A must-read
for anyone seeking to defeat inner roadblocks and accomplish
goals."--Eric O'Neill, author of Gray Day
"Rarely do we find texts so clear and full of practical examples as
Brain Hacks, which serves both the layperson and the professional.
This is my position as a psychologist who works with autistic
people and as the father of an attentionally divergent daughter:
the theme of "executive functions" occupies my reflections daily.
The work of Lara Honos-Webb has advanced in the field of
neurodiversity."--Ernesto Reaño, author of The Return to the
Village; Neurodiversity, Autism, and Electronality
"Written in a clear, accessible style and full of useful tips,
Brain Hacks brings much-needed help and creative advice to people
who want to understand and improve their executive functioning
skills. Each chapter offers easy, useful exercises and quick tips
to make changes right away without feeling overwhelmed. It's a
valuable resource that I highly recommend."--Dr. Sharon Saline,
