The Mental Reset (E-book)

"Every crisis is also an opportunity. We know what we need to do to make our lives and work more brain-friendly, but somehow we are still not putting that knowledge into practice. Covid-19 has forced us into one of the biggest experiments in resilience of all time. What if we see this crisis as an opportunity for a genuine transformation? A chance to adopt new habits that will make us stronger than ever and help us face a volatile future?"

In her ground-breaking new book, Elke Geraerts shows us how we can all be ready for the many challenges awaiting us in a post-covid-19 world. Her approach takes the brain as the starting point and inspires you to make brain-aware choices in work and in life. She shows how hybrid work can both increase your productivity and reduce stress, how you can chase your dreams even in times of crisis and why – in an increasingly digital world - focus is the new IQ. The old normal will never return... but perhaps that is not such a bad thing!

"Radical change is possible - these challenging times have proved it. Suddenly, we were able to transform our work and our lives completely. These past months have taught us so much about how we live and work. What if we were to put those lessons to good use and make a genuine mental leap forward?
I hope that this crisis will help individuals, families and organizations to take ownership of their lives. What have the past months taught you? How would you like to live your life? What needs to change and what will you do to achieve your goals? Maybe the pandemic has opened up possibilities to talk about hybrid work with your manager. Or maybe you have discovered new ways to incorporate focus and reduce stress in your weekly schedule. These might seem like minor changes, but they can have a major impact on your quality of life.

Finally, I want to remind you that taking ownership of your life is not just about the decisions you take today; it is a lifelong project. A reset is not a one-off event but something you do repeatedly. Let the cover image encourage you to embrace change with an open, authentic attitude."
