Neurosmart: How to work the way you're wired

A transformative guide to thriving at work in the AI era, revealing how to unlock your potential by working with your brain.

In the modern, tech-driven workplace, we're all expected to do our best under the same conditions-as if we're each built for open-plan spaces, endless video meetings, and rapid-fire messaging. The truth is, work isn't one-size-fits-all: Our brains are wired differently, and what fuels one person can exhaust another. But what if you could approach your tasks in a way that truly suits you?

That's what it means to work neurosmart. Drawing on decades of research, writing for The Wall Street Journal and Harvard Business Review, and advising leaders and top organizations, social scientist Alexandra Samuel, PhD, shows how to align your job with the way you're wired. This shift starts with what Samuel calls neurovariety: the idea that the differences in our thinking, perception, and communication are powerful advantages.
