Business book summary

the scientific secrets of perfect timing

Daniel H. Pink, the #1-bestselling author of Drive and To Sell is Human, unlocks the scientific secrets of good timing to help you flourish at work, at school, and at home. All of us confront a never-ending stream of "when" decisions. When to change jobs. When to schedule a class. When to get serious about a person or a project. Yet we make those decisions haphazardly - based on intuition, hunches, and guesswork. In When: The Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing, Daniel H. Pink aruges this is exactly the wrong approach. We all know that timing is everything, PInk says. But we assume that timing is an art. In When, he makes clear that timing is really a science. Drawing on a rich trove of research from psychology and biology, neuroscience and economics, Pink reveals in When how best to live, work, and succeed. How can we use the hidden pattern of the day to build the ideal schedule? Why do certain types of daily breaks dramatically improve our children's test scores? How can we turn a mediocre beginning into a fresh start? Why do endings boost motivation and deepen meaning? And how, ultimately, can we make time our ally rather than our enemy? In When, Pink distills cutting-edge research and data and sythesizes them into a fascinating, compelling narrative packed with irresistible stories and practical takeaways. Bursting with big ideas and enduring lessons, it will transform how you think about your past, your present, and your future. --, From dust jacket
