"Drawing on the latest research in neuroscience, psychology, and management, as well as interviews with visionary business and educational leaders, ... [the author] explodes the myth that multitasking is bad for us and offers a reassuringly optimistic view of our ability to thrive in ways that build on what we know now about how our brains engage with the world"--P.
