OpenBook Cognitive Effectiveness
You know what’s going on. Every morning you wake up and your brain enters its engagement with the world around you. It fires up your five senses, and drives your neuromuscular system toward the massively complex interactions that make up your life.
In order to create purpose and meaning, we plan, imagine, and project. We use clocks and calendars, maps and plans. We make promises to ourselves and to others. We commit ourselves to future actions. We store, position, and maintain resources. (Are you wearing that shirt because it was the only one clean and pressed today?)
A highly functioning individual, by definition,
is positioned in the center of numerous complex
and interacting systems that function to advance our purposes.
It’s now 11 am. Do you know what your brain is doing?
You can.
Maybe you’re in a meeting with your most important business associates. Your livelihood depends on them. Do you know what their brains are doing?
You can. 
At some point, you’ll be at a dinner table with the most significant person in your life: do you have a clue what that other brain is doing?
You can have much more than a clue.
Leading-edge neuroscience reveals our brains have multiple information-processing systems we access differentially. Each of us has a unique set of neuro-preferences that influence how we think and learn.
In short, it's the engagement of your neurophysiology with the rest of the universe.
At OpenBook, we probe these preferences through a series of explorations regarding your day-to-day engagement with other people, your occupations, and your routines that yield powerful and important knowledge as to how you can engage most effectively and successfully with the world around you.
