Take back control by learning to adjust your brain's speed and efficiency.In today's Information Age, we move through life at a frantic pace to keep up with the never-ending influx of information and daily tasks. Bombarded with data every waking hour, it's no wonder our brains are feeling overwhelmed and overloaded.In Hyperefficient, Dr Mithu Storoni lays out the tools to retune our brains to the best settings for complex thinking, creativity, concentration, and decision-making. Based on intriguing scientific research, Hyperefficient is a must-have practical manual for your brain. Discover how to reach a brain state where prolonged mental work feels effortless - learn to thrive amidst the deluge of digital information at work, at home and in your whole life - become 'hyperefficient'.As Mithu Storoni became a doctor, dabbled in neuroscientific research, trained in ophthalmic surgery, taught yoga, and earned a PhD in neuro-ophthalmology, she studied "illness" through different angles, all of which led to the brain. The deeper she ventured into the study of "illness" the more aware she became of the vital role played by chronic stress in the transformation from "wellness" to "illness." Moving from fast-paced London to the breakneck Asian business hub of Hong Kong heightened this awareness as Mithu watched her thriving friends and colleagues reluctantly abandon their passion, energy, and mental agility and surrender their flourishing careers, because of chronic, unbridled stress. This prompted Mithu to write this book. Mithu received her medical degree from the University of Cambridge and conducted her research in neuro-ophthalmology at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery in London, where she was a Clinical Research Fellow until moving to Hong Kong with her husband. They now live in Luxembourg.
