Anyone can improve their ability to use their brain in different ways. Peter Quarry and Eve Ash explore techniques such as exposing yourself to new ideas and perspectives, changing daily routines and challenging your comfort zone.

Peter Quarry suggests the “Five More Technique” to keep yourself focused. Mood-boosting short breaks (e.g. walks, games) also help concentration.
