In 2006 Dr Adrian Owen and his team made medical history. They discovered a new realm of consciousness, somewhere between life and death, which they called the Grey Zone. The people who inhabit it are frequently labelled as irretrievably lost, with no awareness or sense of self. The shocking truth is that they are often still there, an intact mind trapped inside a broken body and brain, hearing everything around them, experiencing emotions, thoughts, pleasure and pain. But now, through Dr Owen's pioneering techniques, we can talk to them - and they can talk back.

From the muddle of brain fog that leaves you searching for keys already in your hand to the challenges posed by conditions like ADHD, Alzheimer’s, and Parkinson’s, deficits in executive function are everywhere. Everyone agrees that executive function is essential for solving problems, planning for the future, and leading effective, meaningful lives—yet few can agree on what it actually is, or how to improve it. In Think Before You Think, internationally renowned neuroscientist Adrian Owen draws on cutting-edge research and a vast original dataset to finally demystify what executive function is, how it shapes our behavior, and what truly does—and doesn’t—help sharpen it. As practical as it is profound, Think Before You Think reveals our cognitive strengths, our limitations, and the extraordinary potential we all possess.

From a pioneering neuroscientist, a revelatory exploration of the set of processes in our brains that make us who we are - how they work, what happens when they falter, and how we can maintain them throughout our lives.'Adrian Owen is not just one of our top scientists, but a great storyteller.' DANIEL LEVITINOur brains are miraculous things. Through a set of processes called executive functions, they drive everything over the course of our lives, allowing us to create and retrieve memories, understand our own and others' emotions, plan our short- and long-term goals, and much more.Drawing on gripping case studies and cutting-edge research, world renowned neuroscientist Adrian Owen maps out the architecture of our brains and these executive functions. From encounters with memory champions, athletes who have suffered multiple concussions and patients with conditions such as ADHD, autism, Parkinson's and Alzheimer's, he reveals the importance of these functions not only to the potential of our brains but to our very ways of being.Think Before You Think presents a remarkable picture of both the brain's brilliance and its fragility, providing practical advice to maintain our executive functions at every stage of our lives. In doing so, it brings readers to a closer understanding of what it is that makes each of us human.'Takes readers on a journey of discovery, demystifying executive function, busting myths, and giving readers tools to cut through the clutter, focus on what matters, and transform their lives.'
