469. Hyperefficient: Optimize Your Brain...

Keller Podcast Network
About this episode

Mental fatigue is real. We live in a world where we have to make a thousand good decisions each day, and we’re expected to be highly creative at our jobs. That’s why it’s critical to learn how to optimize our brains to function well in this reality. Our guest today, Dr. Mithu Storoni, is here to give us some science-back tactics.

Dr. Mithu Storoni is an University of Cambridge trained physician, neuroscience researcher, and ophthalmic surgeon. She advises multinational corporations on mental performance and stress management. She has accumulated her knowledge in her latest book, “Hyperefficient, How to Optimize Your Brain to Transform the Way You Work.”


If you think being chained to your desk from 9am-5pm or even 5am-9pm makes you an allstar worker, think again. Dr. Mithu explains that we need to tap into the natural rhythms of the brain, and take advantage of what we now know about biochemistry: walking and naps are important for creativity and productivity. Take a listen as she explains complex topics in a clear and compelling way.
