They also result in poor decision making and less-than-optimal thinking by leaders at all levels of the workforce. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDaily juggling of data, reports, email, meetings, decisions, and way too much information has leaders operating in \"mind full\" modes. This is not good. A more effective method is to make decisions in a mindful mode, a skill that can be learned. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs a leader, the decisions you make and execute shape the lives of team members, colleagues, direct reports, customers, suppliers, and the communities in which you operate and live. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eUnfortunately, the majority of leaders are unaware of how stress, multitasking, and overtaxed brains trigger poor decisions, thinking, and outcomes. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book will help readers become more cognizant of when stress is triggering them toward poor decision making.

Current estimates predict the United States will see a 60% increase in Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia by 2030 from today's already staggering levels. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFortunately, using the techniques and tips in this book, such an increase is preventable. But only if the right actions are taken now, by you, your family members, your work colleagues, and everyone else. By helping ourselves, and one another, take the proper steps to enhance brain health, we can reduce the financial costs to society -- and the brutal emotional costs to families -- of dementia and Alzheimer's disease. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book shares some of the new scientific research that shows how mindfulness, stress relief and management techniques, meditation, and better dietary habits could slow and even postpone the debilitating effects of dementia and Alzheimer's disease. You will also learn about new neuroscientific studies showing that neuroplasticity - the ability to grow neuronal connectivity across the brain - can continue well into our 70s. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe techniques described in this book will help you make better decisions and improve your thinking prowess. They will also result in you becoming a less stressed and far healthier person. Those are four great outcomes that will benefit you immediately, and for years to come.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Steven Howard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1943702233\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781943702237\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Caliente Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/14\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 230\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.69lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.48d","brand":"Steven Howard","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44522585161983,"sku":"9781943702237","price":14.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9618b29e-2f18-4054-a2b3-100406f03f8b.jpg?v=1700158021","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/better-decisions-better-thinking-better-steven-howard-9781943702237","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
