Smarter tomorrow : how 15 minutes of neurohacking a day can help you work better, think faster, and get more done / Elizabeth R. Ricker.
If you had only 15 minutes a day, no prescriptions, and a tiny budget, what tools could you use to measurably upgrade your brain? In 'Smarter Tomorrow', MIT and Harvard-trained researcher Elizabeth Ricker shares her quest to answer that question. After distilling insights from hundreds of research studies and interviews, Ricker tests everything on herself. Some experiments fail hilariously, but others completely transform her cognition, resulting in better memory, increase in attention span, and boost in overall mood.

What if you could upgrade your brain in 15 minutes a day? Let Elizabeth Ricker, an MIT and Harvard-trained brain researcher turned Silicon Valley technologist, show you how.
Join Ricker on a wild and edifying romp through the cutting-edge world of neuroscience and biohacking. You'll encounter Olympic athletes, a game show contestant, a memory marvel, a famous CEO, and scientists galore.
Â
From Rickerâs decade-long quest, you will learn:
? The brain-based reason so many self-improvement projects fail . . . But how a little-known secret of Nobel Prize winning scientists could finally unlock success
? Which four abilitiesâboth cognitive and emotionalâcan predict success in work and relationships . . . and a new system for improving all four
? Which seven research-tested tools can supercharge mental performance. They range from low-tech (a surprising new mindset) to downright futuristic (an electrical device for at-home brain stimulation)
Â
Best of all, you will learn to upgrade your brain with Rickerâs 20 customizable self-experiments and a sample, 12-week schedule.
Â
Ricker distills insights from dozens of interviews and hundreds of research studies from around the world. She tests almost everything on herself, whether itâs nicotine, video games, meditation, or a little-known beverage from the Pacific islands. Some experiments fail hilariouslyâbut others transform her cognition. She is able to sharpen her memory, increase her attention span, boost her mood, and clear her brain fog. By following Rickerâs system, youâll uncover your own boosts to mental performance, too.
