On Task: How Our Brain Gets Things Done

Cognitive neuroscientist David Badre presents an authoritative introduction to the neuroscience of cognitive control, exploring how our brains devise sophisticated actions to achieve our goals.

This insightful investigation sheds light on the evolution and inner workings of cognitive control, examining issues from multitasking and willpower to habitual errors and bad decision making, as well as what happens as our brains develop in childhood and change as we age.
