A handbook for those who want to do the right things at the right time
This is an audiobook about timing. We all know that everything stands and falls with timing. The trouble is, we don't know much about the timing itself. Life brings us an endless stream of decisions about it, "when" - when to change careers, to break the bad news, schedule a course, to have a medical procedure, to end the marriage, go for a run, to fully immerse yourself in a project or relationship. Without the right timing, it can't turn out ideally. Until now, we have considered good timing to be an intuitive art or the work of lucky chance. Daniel Pink will show you that timing is in fact a science and can be mastered by all of us. He has analyzed more than 700 research studies (Social Psychology, chronobiology, endocrinology, anthropology, anaesthesiology and economics) and compiled a practical guide, so we can work a little smarter and live a little better.
The Time Tamer's Handbook
The audiobook discusses a lot of theory and you will hear about a number of scientific studies. But how can we use this knowledge to improve our performance, enhance our health and deepen our satisfaction? Pink has distilled these groundbreaking researches and remarkable stories into a book full of practical advice. He concludes each chapter with a section he calls the Time Tamer's Manual: a collection of tools, exercises and tips to help you put what you've learned into practice. With a smart approach, you get more out of every day.
