NEW YORK TIMES\u00a0<\/i>BESTSELLER \u2022\u00a0From the author of\u00a0The Power of Habit\u00a0<\/i>comes a fascinating book that explores the science of productivity, and why managing\u00a0how<\/i>\u00a0you think is more important than\u00a0what<\/i>\u00a0you think\u2014with an appendix of real-world lessons to apply to your life.<\/b><\/p>\n
At the core of\u00a0Smarter Faster Better<\/i>\u00a0are eight key productivity concepts\u2014from motivation and goal setting to focus and decision making\u2014that explain why some people and companies get so much done. Drawing on the latest findings in neuroscience, psychology, and behavioral economics\u2014as well as the experiences of CEOs, educational reformers, four-star generals, FBI agents, airplane pilots, and Broadway songwriters\u2014this painstakingly researched book explains that the most productive people, companies, and organizations don\u2019t merely act differently.<\/p>\n
They view the world, and their choices, in profoundly different ways.<\/p>\n
A young woman drops out of a PhD program and starts playing poker. By training herself to envision contradictory futures, she learns to anticipate her opponents\u2019 missteps\u2014and becomes one of the most successful players in the world.<\/p>\n
A group of data scientists at Google embark on a four-year study of how the best teams function, and find that\u00a0how<\/i>\u00a0a group interacts is more important than\u00a0who<\/i>\u00a0is in the group\u2014a principle, it turns out, that also helps explain why\u00a0Saturday Night Live<\/i>\u00a0became a hit.<\/p>\n
A Marine Corps general, faced with low morale among recruits, reimagines boot camp\u2014and discovers that instilling a \u201cbias toward action\u201d can turn even the most directionless teenagers into self-motivating achievers.<\/p>\n
The filmmakers behind Disney\u2019s\u00a0Frozen<\/i>\u00a0are nearly out of time and on the brink of catastrophe\u2014until they shake up their team in just the right way, spurring a creative breakthrough that leads to one of the highest-grossing movies of all time.<\/p>\n
What do these people have in common?<\/p>\n
They know that productivity relies on making certain choices. The way we frame our daily decisions; the big ambitions we embrace and the easy goals we ignore; the cultures we establish as leaders to drive innovation; the way we interact with data: These are the things that separate the merely busy from the genuinely productive.<\/p>\n
In\u00a0The Power of Habit,<\/i>\u00a0Pulitzer Prize\u2013winning journalist Charles Duhigg explained why we do what we do. In\u00a0Smarter Faster Better,\u00a0<\/i>he applies the same relentless curiosity, deep reporting, and rich storytelling to explain how we can improve at the things we do. It\u2019s a groundbreaking exploration of the science of productivity, one that can help anyone learn to succeed with less stress and struggle, and to get more done without sacrificing what we care about most\u2014to become smarter, faster, and better at everything we do.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
