An overview of executive functioning and self-assessments to identify which executive functioning areas pose your greatest challenges.
Explorations of the 5 core skills of executive functioning, including summaries, techniques, and brain hacks to make them stronger.

Review
“Rarely do we find texts so clear and full of practical examples as Brain Hacks, which serves both the layperson and the professional. This is my position as a psychologist who works with autistic people and as the father of an attentionally divergent daughter: the theme of “executive functions” occupies my reflections daily. The work of Lara Honos-Webb has advanced in the field of neurodiversity.”―Ernesto Reaño, author of The Return to the Village; Neurodiversity, Autism, and Electronality
“Brain Hacks is enlightening, positive, comforting, encouraging and action-oriented, with the goal of improving our attention, focus, and executive functioning. Lara Honos-Webb guides the reader with strategies on how to get in touch with―and celebrate―achievements, improvements, and strengths in our executive functioning. Not a subject or topic for self-improvement is left out.”―Robin Goldstein, PhD, Johns Hopkins University “
Brain Hacks is a godsend for our fragmented, attention-deficit-disordered culture.

Her book is filled with practical strategies, checklists, questionnaires, and vital information to help readers stay cool and calm under pressure, set goals, maintain focus, and keep their heads on straight when all around them are losing theirs.
