The twelve monotasks : do one thing at a time to do everything better / by Wine, Thatcher,1972-author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Neurological research repeatedly concludes that there is a bottleneck in our cognitive function - when we do more than one thing at a time, we become less efficient and more errorprone. In fact, we are wired to monotask - to give dedicated focus to one task at a time. In 'The Twelve Monotasks', Thatcher Wine breaks down 12 everyday activities to strengthen our monotasking muscle so that we can rebuild and expand our attention spans. And in the end, it makes us happier, more productive, and more present - in all aspects of our lives.

How we grow up : understanding adolescence / by Richtel, Matt,author.;
"The transition from childhood to adulthood is a natural, evolution-honed cycle that now faces radical change and challenge. The adolescent brain, sculpted for this transition over eons of evolution, confronts a modern world that creates so much social pressure as to regularly exceed the capacities of the evolving mind. The problem comes as a bombardment of screen-based information pelts the brain just as adolescence is undergoing a second key change: puberty is hitting earlier. The result is a neurological mismatch between an ultra-potent environment and a still-maturing brain that can lead to anxiety, depression, and other mental health challenges. It is a crisis that is part of modern life but can only be truly grasped through a broad, grounded lens of the biology of adolescence itself. Through this lens, Richtel shows us how adolescents can understand themselves, and parents and educators can better help"--

Chasing shadows / by Harper, Karen(Karen S.),author.;
Every case that Claire Britten cracks is a win, not only professionally but personally. The forensic psychologist has spent a lifetime fighting a neurological disorder, and her ability to conquer it is a testament to her razor-sharp intuition. Nick Markwood is used to winning in the courtroom, so when his latest case is overthrown by Claire's expert testimony, he can't help being impressed by her skill. He needs her on the team of his passion project--investigating unusual cases involving mysterious deaths. Her condition doesn't deter him, and neither does the attraction that sparks between them ... even if it should. As they join forces to investigate a murder in St. Augustine, Florida, Claire is thrust into a situation far more dangerous than she'd anticipated, pushing her disorder to a breaking point. Just when she fears she can't trust her own mind, she discovers Nick's personal connection to the case - and wonders whether she can trust anyone at all.
