A brain-boosting blueprint
Sharper is a refreshing, science-backed guide for anyone feeling mentally foggy or digitally overwhelmed. Blending neuroscience with practical strategies, Pearse offers a clear roadmap to boost brain health through physical activity, nutrition, mental exercises, and even tech tools like wearables and sound therapy. I appreciated how easy it was to read—complex concepts are explained clearly, and the flow is remarkably smooth. The book is also engaging, and I found myself pausing mid-read to try the exercises and immediately felt more connected to the material. The 30-day brain optimization plan at the end is a great summary tool, though some might prefer to customize it for deeper focus. I consider Sharper a hands-on, empowering resource for mental well-being.

Solid science, real results—not just hype
I picked this up because I was feeling mentally foggy despite eating well and getting enough sleep. What I appreciated most is that Sharper doesn’t promise magic fixes. It explains why our brains get sluggish and backs it all with neuroscience. The tips are actually doable—no expensive supplements or 5 a.m. bootcamps. I especially liked the dopamine section; it explained so much about why I can't stay off my phone. The 30-day plan is practical and surprisingly motivating. I'm already thinking clearer after two weeks.

Exactly What I Needed to Clear the Mental Clutter
I picked up this book because I’d been feeling scattered, unfocused, and honestly just mentally drained most days. Sharper gave me a fresh perspective on how much digital distractions and dopamine overload were playing a role—and, more importantly, what I could actually do about it.
I really liked how practical the advice was. It wasn’t about doing a total tech detox or changing my whole life overnight. Instead, it offered small changes that made a big difference, like adjusting my routines, improving sleep, and being more mindful with my attention.
Since reading it, I’ve felt more clear-headed and productive, and I’m way more aware of how I manage my focus. If you're feeling stuck in a brain fog like I was, this book is a great reset.

Finally… My Brain Feels Like Mine Again
What I liked most about this audiobook is how it breaks things down without feeling preachy or overwhelming. It’s like getting solid, science-backed brain advice from a friend who gets how hard it is to focus these days. The dopamine tips, tech habits, and that 30-day plan? Game changers. Honestly, I didn’t expect it to be this helpful but I’m thinking clearer and actually remembering stuff again. Total win!
