Recensione

"The Leading Brain is the best integration of neuroscience and leadership that I have ever seen."
-Dr. Jonathan Schooler, Neuroscientist and Professor at UC Santa Barbara

"Combines neuroscience and leadership in a way that is both highly informative and fun. The Leading Brain covers a vast array of fascinating topics, such as habit formation, emotional regulation, intuition, and optimal decision making. There are tons of useful strategies in this book that you can apply to your life and your work right away!"
-- Scott Barry Kaufman, co-author, Wired to Create: Unravelling the Mysteries of the Creative Mind

"Breathtaking. It's both a lecture on modern sciences and kind of a thriller. I've never read a book on management so fast."
-Peter Gerber, CEO of Lufthansa Cargo

"Really enjoyable and informative. Covers much of what I teach my students, that they must take command of their own psychological machinery to be successful in any endeavor. I hope to incorporate many of the lessons in my lectures and recommend the book to my students."
-Ken Singer, Managing Director, Sutardja Center for Entrepreneurship and Technology, UC Berkeley

"I very much like the approach to a complicated and much-misunderstood topic. I quickly gained confidence that I can understand, self-diagnose, and to some extent 'hack' my brain in order to improve my productivity, health and happiness. Hagemann and Fabritius have gathered or generated great analogies and stories that support a skillful demystification of brain science without dumbing it down."
-Jeremy Clark, Director of Innovation Services at PARC

"Amusing and inspiring. Most of the books in this domain explain behavioral patterns by using observation and experimentation...Looking at these phenomena through the lens of neuroscience definitely adds plausibility to the picture. I found The Leading Brain to be very well written and, for me, it was indeed a page-turner."
- --Marcus Krug, Head of SAP Intrapreneurship, SAP AG
