I am reading Play Your Brain: Adopt a Musical Mindset and Change Your Life and Career by Anette Prehn and Kjeld Fredens, and I recommend that you read it, too. (Click to read testimonials for the book.) Prehn is a journalist which makes for a well-written book (a quality which is more and more rare in books these days), and she writes in consultation with a neuroscientist so the book is brain savvy.
An important bonus: Prehn uses a metaphor that works very well for ease of understanding—music! As readers here know, music is a focus on this blog; another reason why this book is holding my interest so well. If you are interested in the practical applications of brain science, buy Play Your Brain now.

I will post a review when I have finished Play Your Brain. In the meanwhile, here are just a couple of the testimonials from a whole page of them:
“A masterpiece, and tight to the core, Play Your Brain is essential reading for all leaders and managers who want to orchestrate their employees and organisations to become highly self-regulated. Combining brain science with real-life examples, this book paves the way to implementation in relation to everyday challenges. One of those books you must have!” — Tobias Kiefer, Head of Global Learning & Development, Booz & Company
“A pioneer work in the emerging field of applied neuroscience, Play Your Brain likens the brain to a jazz band — in its capacity to improvise and make new connections. The authors show how to maximise its enormous potential, through immensely thoughtful, practical and brain-based suggestions. Highly recommended!” — Paul T. Brown, Visiting Professor in Organisational Neuroscience, London South Bank University
