she tells me what she's gonna tell me

what the he'll? I'm 2 chapters in and she keeps telling me what the book is going to be about. why not also hire a narrator to tell me how she tells it, while she's at it. this is getting exhausting. not a lot of take away so far. will re-rate later. stop convincing me to read a book I already have. please. you're wasting my time.

Informative & useful

The book is well-structured with plenty of data and narrated well. It has actionable items, not just theories.

Practical insights into scientific leadership

Highly recommended to those who are still managing with their guts without knowing it. Filled with great examples.

Must Read for Leaders Across the World

This is a must read 4 L around the world… If not anyone with a brain. Such incredible concepts brought down on a tangible level and distilled sufficiently for the average reader. Modern science, integrated in a way that we can all understand is what will help you all this world to be a better place not only to work, to live, but also to lead.

the narrative voice is monotonous

not really engaging while the contents are very interesting but not that much enticing .

mostly right with some egregious errors

well it's solid and has a lot of decent neuroscientific information and did teach me a lot they apparently even in 2015 should have known as neuroscientists that short-term memory is 4 + or - 1 not 7 plus or minus 2 and that multitasking is a myth they seem to know neither and that's a major issue coming from a book That's supposed to have been written an authored by neuroscientists finally their first mention of heb's law neurons that wire together fire together is completely backwards in terms of the causality of that very fundamental and important order which they get correct in the rest of the book overall three out of five for having some sloppy or incorrect Neuroscience that they should have been able to and the data was there for them to correct in at the date of publication

Exceptional Reading

Great story, amazing Neuroscience facts and relevance to real life.

Even if you are mildly interested in Neuroscience, Psychology, Leadership or just how your brain works this is the book for you!

Potential interesting but not ground breaking.

The content was clever and well researched. It didn’t teach me much or add any real knowledge to the leadership topic (especially if you are already knowledgeable on the topic). I don’t want to run the book down as has good content. It just doesn’t add to how I can add to my leadership knowledge or application much.

Good, but there are better

Book had quite a few interesting remarks, but still as there are better psychological books for managers and leaders

As titled, Condescending claptrap with trip wires by miopics.
Easily hear the format "name dropping" authors who plagerise and quasi quoting the giants and who evidently are simply in are each others pockets.
Trip wires galore.
Come up from the shallow.
