NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - The author of The Power of Habit and
"master of the life hack" (GQ) explores the fascinating science of
productivity and offers real-world takeaways to apply your life,
whether you're chasing peak productivity or simply trying to get
back on track.
"Duhigg melds cutting-edge science, deep reporting, and wide-ranging
stories to give us a fuller, more human way of thinking about how
productivity actually happens."--Susan Cain, author of Quiet
In The Power of Habit, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Charles
Duhigg explained why we do what we do. In Smarter Faster Better, he
applies the same relentless curiosity and rich storytelling to how we
can improve at the things we do.
At the core of Smarter Faster Better are eight key concepts--from
motivation and goal setting to focus and decision making--that explain
why some people and companies get so much done. Drawing on the latest
findings in neuroscience, psychology, and behavioral economics--as well
as the experiences of CEOs, educational reformers, four-star generals,
FBI agents, airplane pilots, and Broadway songwriters--this book reveals
that the most productive people, companies, and organizations don't
merely act differently. They view the world, and their choices, in
profoundly different ways.
Smarter Faster Better is a story-filled exploration of the science of
productivity, one that can help us learn to succeed with less stress and
struggle--and become smarter, faster, and better at everything we do.
