Breathtaking. It’s both a lecture on modern sciences and kind of a thriller. I’ve never read a book on management so fast.

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. –

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.

“The book is fantastic! Well-written, good examples, excellent structure. And, unlike so many business books, which can be an ordeal to get through, The Leading Brain also has a fine sense of humor. Reading it produces the very feeling of “flow” that the authors describe so well.

The Leading Brainis the best integration of neuroscience andleadership thatI have ever seen.

Concrete, energetic, and accessible, this is a must-read for anyone who takes a science-backed approach to business.
