LIT: Life Ignition Tools
Use Nature's Playbook to Energize Your Brain, Spark Ideas, and Ignite Action
William Morrow, 2024
Aperçu
“Lit” strategies help you live a more active, engaged, and innovative life.
Recommendation
In an age of endless distractions, people’s brains naturally gravitate toward the comfort of habit, shifting into an energy-saving mode that can limit creativity and growth. Embracing uncertainty and asking, “Why not?” allows you to break free from autopilot and unlock your potential for a more thoughtful, innovative, and engaged life. Biomedical engineer and entrepreneur Jeff Karp mixes personal stories and scientific studies to explain how to tap into high-energy — “lit” — brain states. Imagine transforming a boring drive into a mindful experience by simply turning off the radio. That’s the power of “Life Ignition Tools” (LIT) to help you design a life of heightened awareness and deeper engagement.
