“Performance, Biology This book blew me away. Steven breaks down the biology of peak performance so that anyone can create a routine which facilitates them achieving their best work. Based on neuroscience and biology rather than just anecdotes, this is a read for you if you like straight talking, research-backed strategies delivered in a narrative fashion. Learn what elements of your daily routine are getting in your way and remove them. Very easy to read, super applicable and can make a profound difference to your output. Non-Fiction 8”↗
