'A razor sharp book pinpointing easy steps to boost your brain power!' DR HANNAH CRITCHLOW

Don't leave your best days to chance. Be happier, more focused and less stressed with Sharp's 50 simple strategies.

Cognitive scientist Therese Huston unpacks the latest neuroscience research to deliver a goldmine of techniques to help you feel your sharpest at work, at home or in relationships, including:

- how a calming deep breathing technique improves decision-making;

- exactly what kind of exercise helps you think on your feet;

- what brain science says scary movies can do to help you learn; and

- how drinking tea can help you to focus on your most unfocused days.

Sharp is packed with innovative, actionable tips that can make a difference in your daily routine. Best of all, many of them take five minutes or less. Whether you want to make fewer mistakes, support your partner through life's challenges, or simply learn faster, Sharp gives you the tools to do it all, without having to overhaul your entire lifestyle.
