Sinopsis

Focus Hacks: Cognitive Science Secrets for Peak Productivity flips traditional productivity advice on its head by arguing that managing attention—not time—is the key to unlocking true efficiency. Grounded in neuroscience and cognitive psychology, the book tackles modern distractions head-on, revealing how our average focus span has plummeted to just 47 seconds per task. Its central premise challenges "grind culture," showing how aligning habits with the brain’s natural rhythms—like leveraging neuroplasticity for habit change or optimizing cognitive load—yields better results than sheer hustle.

What sets Focus Hacks apart is its "brain-first" approach. Instead of generic tips, it offers diagnostic tools to identify personal focus styles, whether "spotlight" (intense concentration) or "lantern" (broad awareness). The book blends cutting-edge research—like EEG data showing brainwave shifts during focus techniques—with practical strategies. For instance, it reimagines the Pomodoro method using "micro-restoration" breaks backed by sleep science, and explains how environmental tweaks (like reducing visual clutter) can shield attention. Case studies add real-world punch, like a developer who tripled coding output using gradual "attention scaffolding."

Structured for action, the book progresses from cognitive foundations to habit-building and environmental design. Early chapters decode why multitasking fails (hint: attentional blink), while later sections provide tailored fixes for remote workers, students, and creatives. By translating complex concepts like dopamine cycles into relatable metaphors—and pairing them with QR-linked exercises—Focus Hacks makes neuroscience accessible. It’s a manual for reclaiming focus not through willpower, but through science-backed systems that turn scattered minds into sustained, purposeful attention.

Intervals

Marianne Brooker

What makes a good death? A good daughter?  
In 2009, with her forties and a harsh wave of austerity on the horizon, Marianne Brooker’s mother was diagnosed with primary progressive multiple sclerosis. She made a workshop of herself and her surroundings, combining creativity and activism in inventive ways. But over time, her ability to work, to move and to live without pain diminished drastically. Determined to die in her own home, on her own terms, she stopped eating and drinking in 2019.  
In Intervals, Brooker reckons with heartbreak, weaving her first and final memories with a study of doulas, living wills and the precarious economics of social, hospice and funeral care. Blending memoir, polemic and feminist philosophy, Brooker joins writers such as Anne Boyer, Maggie Nelson, Donald Winnicott and Lola Olufemi to raise essential questions about choice and interdependence and, ultimately, to imagine care otherwise.

Shut Your Mouth - Ending a...

Nadia Nessuno

A powerful story of resilience, faith, and integrity. This memoir traces a journey marked by injustice since childhood. Being silenced and feeling invisible through many challenges. Yet through all the pain, an identity in Christ remained true. Through all the years of suffering and being silenced, the author clung to the belief that belonging to Christ gives meaning to all the suffering. Sharing this narrative is not just an act of courage; it’s a step towards healing. A testimony that speaking the truth can break chains of oppression. The wounds are real, but so is the hope. As long as injustice persists in our world, the call remains to stand firm for truth, speak out, and live in the light of a coming kingdom where every wrong will be made right. This is more than a story of survival. It’s a declaration that even in the darkest valleys, God sees, knows, and redeems. Psalm 37:1-3 “Do not fret because of the wicked, do not be envious of the wrongdoers, for they will soon fade like the grass and wither like the green plants. Trust in the Lord and do good…”
