About this audiobook

Brought to you by Penguin.

Seven powerful brain hacks to access high energy thinking in a low energy thinking world, and find greater focus, creativity, productivity and passion - from Harvard and MIT scientist Jeffery Karp.


How can you achieve greater mental performance and creativity in a modern world of constant interruptions, always-urgent deadlines, mindless social media scrolling and anxiety-inducing 24/7 news? All these modern distractions hold us in mind-numbing, low-energy thinking and make it really hard to be fully creative and productive. Understanding that switching off or hiding away from the realities of the modern world is not practical, innovative Harvard and MIT scientist Jeffery Karp has found another even more powerful way to access high energy thinking with the help of his seven brain hijacks, or Library of Ignition Tools (LIT), to fire up your brain, focus and achieve your best work.

Karp's Library of Ignition Tools - which include 'Shock Yourself - Constantly' and 'Trick Yourself to Practice, Practice, Practice' - will help you possess the focus, creativity, productivity, stamina and courage to innovate your way forward, and create a life you truly want to lead. They will also help protect you from being overcome by mental exhaustion, depression, anxiety and general stagnation - not to mention get drawn in by phishing scams, fake news, prejudices, soft addictions and other typical low thinking issues.

A novel and practical brain-hacking book, LIT is a must for anyone seeking greater mental performance and creativity.
